Would love to read it if they still have it! There's not much written on it (or PFT labor history in general for that matter)

(Also thank you for talking about us with your fellow workers?)

3 years ago today, the Elmwood store in Buffalo, NY organized and won a union.

Since then, we've grown, fought, and won - together. As workers prepare for what we hope is the final phase of negotiations with the company, we're celebrating our strength and solidarity today! Here's to MANY more ✊

*1934 SEABROOK FARMS STRIKE

BREAKING! Workers at the Coleman Village store in Atlanta, GA just UNANIMOUSLY voted to unionize tonight, 14-0!

They're joining over 520 Starbucks stores that have organized, and soon they'll be able to add their voice at the bargaining table as we finish up the foundations of our union contracts!
