Workers in all industries have more in common with each other than the executives making millions. Solidarity with everyone who is not crossing the line or buying Starbucks while we’re on a ULP strike! Special thanks to @Teamsters, for not crossing the picket line and standing with us✊

Fair pay is a feminist value. It’s respect. It’s uniting with workers who fight back. Unite with the baristas and don’t buy Starbucks. ☕️✊ #NoContractNoCoffee #Solidarity #StarbucksStrike

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.
Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

Solidarity with Starbucks workers! Starbucks makes BILLIONS every year.
The very least the company owes its workers is good faith negotiations for a fair contract and to END their illegal union-busting.
Everyone should be able to organize at work!

Even during a shutdown, TSA officers & air traffic controllers are showing up without pay to keep our airports running. While I delivered them donuts, I checked in with travelers to make sure they knew they were visiting a "war zone.”
It's clear Portland is not a military target. It's home.
