Bloomberg reported that the work stoppage involves stores in more than 40 US cities. The union has said Starbucks' anti-union campaign against it violates the company's own commitment to respect its employees' rights.



Who wants to be the one to tell them????? You are just serving freaking coffee!!!!

If you don't do it, we can do it ourselves.....

I can't imagine the mental anguish those weak wristed losers must feel.

The absolute sense of overwhelming entitlement to think you deserve union representation to make coffee is astounding.

I already started my boycott of Starbucks due to the entitled baristas.

hopefully it speeds up Starbucks transitioning to machines to make their drinks and eliminate as many of these overly-entitled stunted little twunts as possible..

Buy an Aeropress. For $35 you can make great coffee at home.

No one ever told them the 'two teas/coffees' theory I guess.

Let them get what they want, and then end up unemployed a year later.
We may not always get what we want. We may not always get what we need. Just so we don't get what we deserve.

I posted this somewhere this week....these people are over estimating their power. We have dozens of options in Dallas now and i assume most big cities are the same. There have been umpteen new franchise pop up out of COVID. Zero reason to go there anymore. Also, their coffee objectively sucks compared to almost any other shop we've tried.

Starbucks is a commodity now and they are reaping the inevitable conclusion of going left wing as a company. Good luck dumbasses.

And that's the big cities.

Many of the small towns we drive through in Texas now have a local coffee shop that has popped up and they have lines in the drive thru wanting coffee.

Community Breakfast Blend. $16.00 for 2&1/2 lbs. I just did the allergy tests, I told the Dr if I'm allergic to coffee I'm not giving it up.

What they striking for?

More hours? Less hours? Consistent schedule? Health and dental benes?

This is an hourly job with relatively little high trained skill required beyond remembering some whacked out drink concoction.

I am good with a simple iced coffee... which I can get at a much lower price at McD.

That's when my carafe of home brewed drip coffee runs out &/or I am out of milk.

French press with fresh ground beans locally roasted is superior to any of the over roasted crap from Starbucks.

I honestly dont get the love for crappy coffee that is way overpriced.

How hard can it be to make coffee using $20,000 expresso machines?

How demanding can it be that you strike?

A barista can be replaced with a $100 kurig, find a job that can't be replaced with an appliance that cost less than a pair of Nikes.

Dont hate on McDonalds coffee. We've tried Starbucks, Pete's, dozens of other brands (that I dont care to recall) for our drip coffeemaker. The last few months we've been using McCafe Breakfast blend, and have been pleasantly surprised and satisfied with it. We aren't coffee snobs by any means obviously, but cannot stand regular bulk coffee (folgers, etc.).

Those of us who deal with labor campaigns regularly have been saying for some time - watch what happens to these workers. They will not get a contract (if Starbucks is smart). It takes nothing to open (and therefore close) a location. Starbucks will allow them to strike and starve - and then close their location as unprofitable.

The Biden NLRB will scream and wail - but they can't force Starbucks to operate any location.

Ultimately SWU will fail and Jaz Brisak (the Rhodes Scholar and professional union agitator at the root of all of this) will move on to her next Marxist project.

Watch what's going on at Amazon. The ALU voted to unionize one location. They've lost all other elections and the union is imploding as infighting tears it apart. ALU is about Christian Smalls, not the workers.
