America’s unions are proud to endorse @sbworkersunited.org’s boycott of stand-alone corporate Starbucks stores. Workers are fed up with unchecked corporate greed, and we’re standing with them in their fight for a fair contract. No contract? NO COFFEE! ✊ www.boycottstarbucks.net

Starbucks Workers United @sbworkersunited.org · 25/08/2026
🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott. Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:
BOYCOTT STARBUCKS is written inside a zig-zaggy speech bubble against crumbled paper. Beside it are the Starbucks Workers United logo and an image of a coffee cup being poured out.We, the 12,000 and growing members of Starbucks Workers United, call on everyone who stands with working people to boycott Starbucks until they finalize a contract with union baristas and stop union-busting.
What we’re fighting for is simple: a minimum $17/hr wage, enough hours to live on, better staffing in our stores, and basic workplace protections. Every year, our living costs rise but our wages don’t keep up – a growing pressure many American workers are feeling as corporate greed accelerates unchecked in our country. 
Starbucks is banking on customers' blind loyalty to the integrity and values this company once stood for in order to keep squeezing them for profits. At a time when working-class people across the country are struggling in a challenging economy, it is no longer possible to be both a Starbucks customer and in support of workers; choosing to spend money at Starbucks is choosing a law breaking corporation over the baristas who make your coffee everyday exactly as you ask for it.
Starbucks has violated U.S. labor law more than any other company in modern history–the NLRB and its judges have found that Starbucks committed hundreds of labor violations and there are currently more than 550 unresolved unfair labor practice charges still pending against the company. Instead of finalizing a fair and reasonable union contract, Starbucks has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of care for the workers who fuel the company’s profits by wasting millions of dollars on AI and technology that doesn’t work, launching countless gimmicky drinks designed to distract from real problems, and inventing pointless policies that do nothing but make our jobs harder. 
This ongoing, irrational behavior by Starbucks and its refusal to settle a fair union contract with workers leaves us with no other choice than to call for a boycott. We know when working people stand up together, we win. 
No Contract? No Coffee.

Be smarter than Marsha’s new scam. When she says she’s going “DOGE” Tennessee as our next Governor, she really means cutting Tennesseans off their TennCare and food stamps to fund whatever corporate handouts she’s planning giving her cronies. #SpotTheScam

On the campaign Spanberger looked workers in the eye and promised change, after years of organizing for collective bargaining rights in VA. Then the Governor vetoed the bill anyway.

Recap: Hony Tonk owners got a discount on property reappraisal in 2021 because the comp year was the height of Covid, they benefit from that discount for 3 years. Then when they return to a normal valuation, they cry. But they are excited about the Super Bowl which will push their value even higher.

The problem is the 2021 reappraisal seems to have been a serious Covid discount because there’s no way it was only worth $10 million then. Doesn’t make it any easier on the tenant, but something is off here

FEED OUR KIDS! Almost 700K Tennesseans could lose food stamps this weekend—and Gov. Lee could stop it. He has emergency funds to keep families fed, but refuses to use them. Feeding kids shouldn’t be political. Vote Dec. 2 to send someone to Congress who actually gives a damn.
