Building Solidarity with Starbucks Workers

CWAers in New York and New Jersey participated in actions at Starbucks stores in support of the workers organizing for a union at the world’s largest coffeehouse chain. CWA Local 1104 members and other CWAers on Long Island, N.Y., joined a rally at a Starbucks store organized by the local chapter of the Coalition of Labor Union Women (CLUW). CWAers in New Jersey participated in a sit-in and left messages of support on the community board at a Starbucks store in Pennington, N.J. In addition, the CWAers joined members of other unions and community allies by ordering drinks with various pro-union sayings such as “union yes,” “go union go,” “union strong,” “vote yes for union,” and more.
