Graphic showing the Starbucks barista request compared to Starbucks' current annual profits. The Baristas are only requesting a share of 0.5% of the total annual profits.

What are Starbucks employees asking for? They are only asking for an increase of 0.5% of the current total annual profits of the Starbucks profits! If granted the the baristas would receive only one additional dollar for every two hundred dollars that is made off of their labor.

Why are Starbucks Union employees picketing? Right now the CEO is paid 6,666 times as much as the typical barista. Consider this, if a barista gets one cup of coffee, then the CEO gets 6,666 cups. Even university students and professors understand that no one needs that much coffee!
