Starbucks Workers United accused the company of “backtracking on our promised path forward” and failing to present a “serious economic proposal” to unionized baristas.
It’s not smart to give a timespan for a strike. It just makes the CEOs treat it like a math problem.
One should always strike indefinitely until fairness is achieved.
Dude facts.
This is what happened to the reddit subreddit shutdowns. Reddit just told everyone to hunker down
It’s a shame they’re not selling merch with that slogan on it, it’s a banger.
A good way of adding to the strike fund too without needing to attend.

Strikes don’t work in that case. Strikes only make sense in times where there’s a shortage of labor force. But in this case, the opposite is the case: there’s more than enough potential workers, and that’s why wages are low.
The labor market is a market. It has supply (workers) and demand (jobs). High supply --> lower prices (wages). Higher demand --> higher prices (wages). It’s that simple.
Fundamentally, workers in the US, no - wait, actually, worldwide, are fucked. There’s a declining number of well-paying jobs, and the supply of workers has stayed constant or even increased over the last 60 years. Of course, that leads to lower wages. I don’t think we can “innovate” our way out of this one. The only true solution that can pacify the people and avert a civil war is the Universal Basic Income - it guarantees that people can have viable lifes and have “too much to lose”. There’s no alternative - demand it from your politicians!
Ah, the slightly-to-the-left viewpoint. Always so longing for peace thats focused on a future global system ofvalue attribution that isn’t separated from capitalism entirely.
“There’s no alternative - demand it from your politicians!”
Wait a second, this would imply…do you have a politician!!!
ya, they area’t yours, mine, or even to themselves.
Hopefully this will get people to at least try out their local independent coffee shops. Nice little holiday boost for them, maybe some converts.
