I can’t begin to describe this feeling everyone of us is feeling getting this news today. Two and a half years working towards this moment and I feel like someone needs to pinch me. We are all excited for this path forward and the next steps to securing a contract 🎉
A giant step forward made possible by thousands and thousands of us joining together and speaking out… 🚨THIS IS HUGE.🚨
NEWS: The Star Garden workers are victorious! The owners withdrew all election challenges, recognized the union and will meet with @ActorsEquity within 30 days to negotiate a first contract. The dancers have been reinstated and now work at the U.S.’s only unionized strip club!
5 days after SBWU goes public about the emails surrounding the College Avenue closure in Ithaca NY, the first full city with unionized stores. Today the company informed the partners the two remaining union stores will now be permanently closed by the end of May. Disgusting.
Starbucks: We’re not closing the College Ave store in Ithaca because of bad press and because the workers went on strike, no way! Starbucks emails:
Come Rally With Us, a 🧵: Starbucks Partners in the Capital District one year ago began organizing to join the Starbucks Workers United movement and file for union elections. In under a year the capital district grew from zero unionized stores to eight.
I’m very excited about this one 🎉
Meet the Herd! Get to know Scoopers United, the workers organizing the Ben & Jerry's in Burlington, VT, by reading our letter highlighting how we're exercising our right to form a union!
Sending lots of solidarity for the Syracuse Grad Workers on their last day of voting 🎉 #UnionYesatSU

Union baristas @UnionTyler and @ReeveGianna once again ask Howard Schultz to sign the Fair Election Principles, to which he walks away. Again.
That’s my bestie @Un1onBarbie Always making me proud 💕🎉
"Howard Schultz claims he knows what we're going through...while he continues to make our lives hard when they don't have to be," says @SBWorkersUnited member Nabretta Hardin ahead of Schultz's appearance before Congress.
It has been so exciting watching this campaign grow. I got to meet a couple of Trader Joe’s United workers a couple of weeks ago and it was so nice being able to meet them and hear what their campaigns have looked like. Solidarity to these new stores coming into the movement ✊🏻
This is a pivotal moment for our union, and we need YOUR help to expand our organizing efforts. This week, crew members in Oakland, CA *and* NYC filed for union elections to join TJU. We are now organizing coast to coast, and our movement is poised to sweep the country.
#DearHoward, Let’s hear some answers. See you at the Capitol.
I’m LIVE at the Capitol to announce that Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz has finally agreed to testify before the Senate HELP Committee.

#DearHoward, Now we’ve got bad blood. You know it used to be mad love. So take a look what you’ve done, because now we have bad blood. Now we’ve got problems. How’re you gonna solve them? Seriously, this is on you, bud.
#DearHoward, How do you explain firing over 200 workers illegally in the span of a year ?
Not only is it Valentine’s Day.. it’s launch day for Tesla Workers United❣️

BREAKING: Remedy House workers won voluntary recognition for their union today in Buffalo, NY!
Here with workers at Remedy House Coffee in Buffalo, where the company just fired Meghan, a leader of the union there, as she gave them a letter announcing they are forming a union.
Over in Reddit, a Store Manager shared their thoughts on what’s happening on the campaign. “Unionize quickly so they can’t take more from you, it’s all threats and together you are stronger…. it's just a game to them and replacing you is easier than treating you right.”
