Don't let the robber barons get you down, babes 💚💚💚

has always been a space for connection and education. While we were not able to get a union contact at NG, showed up for us and we want to show up for them. Here are some words from about why building solidarity, understanding history, and investing in OUR community and community spaces is so important.

A new wave of union baristas are joining the longest strike in Starbucks history. ~2,500 union baristas across 85 cities are now on an open-ended ULP strike, with workers ready to escalate further.

For over six months, Starbucks has stonewalled union baristas by refusing to put forth new proposals to address their core demands:

1. Better hours to improve staffing in our stores. Understaffing is rampant, leading to longer wait times as customer orders stream in. Yet too many baristas still aren’t getting enough hours to pay the bills or meet the threshold for benefits. Starbucks needs to invest in increasing barista hours.
2. Higher take-home pay. Too many baristas struggle to get by, while executives make millions. Starbucks needs to put more money toward barista’s take-home pay.
3. Resolution for hundreds of outstanding unfair labor practice charges for union busting. The coffee giant has committed more labor law violations than any employer in modern history. Starbucks needs to fully resolve legal issues impacting baristas.

“It’s time for Brian Niccol and Starbucks executives to stop stalling and cut the excuses,” said Michelle Eisen, Starbucks Workers United spokesperson and 15-year veteran barista. “We need real solutions that address our basic demands and the hundreds of labor law violations that remain outstanding. The ball is in their court.”

�Friday’s ULP strike expansion builds on recent Red Cup Rebellion actions at key corporate sites. Last week, dozens of delivery trucks turned away from a picket line made up of hundreds of baristas and allies outside of Starbucks’ largest distribution center in the world in York, Penn. On Monday, hundreds of union baristas and allies brought their ULP strike to the satellite office Starbucks has outfitted for CEO Brian Niccol in Newport Beach, CA.��

We did this t-shirt fundraiser for Norman Care-A-Vans through OSC-Press last summer. Here are some of our wonderful supporters sporting their shirts to show that "Unionizing is and Act of Love."

It is very apparent to us that our ability to advocate for ourselves as workers is connected to our ability to stay employed, which is connected to our ability to stay housed. If our employer can exploit the unpaid or cheap labor of incarcerated people, that also takes power away from us as workers. If we are unable to advocate for ourselves or protect ourselves as workers, we could be fired and become unhoused very quickly in this economy. The solidarity of our community at the Norman Natural Grocers expanded our ability to advocate for ourselves and protect ourselves. We see and admire the way Norman Care-A-Vans builds solidarity with our unhoused neighbors and we hope that by spreading our message that unionizing is an ACT OF LOVE, and by fundraising for Norman Care-A-Vans, we can help build awareness of shared interests and objectives across our community.

Special thanks to Red Dirt Collective and Oklahoma City Free Press for your ongoing community support ✨️
