Good Trouble
No contract, no coffee
Stop buying Starbucks while union baristas are on strike! Sign the pledge!
To: Starbucks CEO, Brian Niccol

I call on you to bargain a fair contract with Starbucks Workers United baristas! I support Starbucks baristas in their fight for a union and a fair contract, and pledge not to cross the picket line. That means I will not patronize any Starbucks store when baristas are on ULP strike.
No Contract, No Coffee
