The worst CEO-to-worker pay ratio out of ALL S&P 500 companies in 2024. WOW. When Starbucks and CEO Brian Niccol tries to tell us they can't afford fair union contracts... remember this.
Starbucks had the worst CEO-to-worker pay ratio out of all S&P 500 companies in 2024. Their CEO received $97,813,843 in total compensation last year, or 6,666x more than Starbucks’ median employee. We stand with @SBWorkersUnited as they fight for their fair share.

The person working the register at your local grocery store should… indeed… be able to afford housing, healthcare, food, and more with their income.
Any successful union started with two co-workers talking. You can get the pay, benefits, and respect at work that you deserve by having those conversations and organizing with your co-workers to put pressure on your boss. United we bargain, divided we beg.
For now all I can say is that I am utterly heartbroken about the garbage “deal” that Mayor Parker and her cronies have forced onto our city workers. Unforgivable. The strike is for now, but the members still have to vote on the deal—and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a hard no
Today, the CWD hosted our annual staff strategy meeting to discuss plans for the 2025-2026 academic year. Our team's got big things coming– stay tuned!
