To: Starbucks CEO, Brian Niccol No Contract, No Coffee Pledge

Brian Niccol, I call on you to bargain a fair contract with Starbucks Workers United baristas! I support Starbucks baristas in their fight for a union and a fair contract, and pledge not to cross the picket line. That means I will not patronize any Starbucks store when baristas are on strike.

Why is this important?

Baristas are the most important part of the Starbucks experience. Baristas open the stores every morning and close them every night. They greet customers, make the coffee, clean up the spills, and remember customers’ names and favorite orders.

Yet, it’s too hard for baristas to make ends meet.

Starbucks baristas deserve to be paid enough to afford the basics like food and rent. That's why they're demanding a fair union contract with the staffing, hours, take-home pay, and on-the-job protections they need to do their jobs.

Reagan began the destruction of labor unions (see PATCO) in order to cancel the middle class. That was the plan, as we have learned the hard way. It’s past time to turn things around.
