NEW: A lawsuit alleges Starbucks sources coffee from farms using slavery-like conditions in Brazil. The lawsuit cites 8 victims who say they were trafficked and forced to work at farms that provide so-called “ethically sourced” coffee beans for Starbucks.

This comes at a time when our union is continuing to fight for fair contracts with strong protections, and stand up against Starbucks's repeated union-busting.
Our message is clear: If you mess with one of us, you mess with ALL of us. #4the1st
I will not forget when Howard Schultz and his company pals shared union locations to their Zionist friends after we said solidarity with Palestine. And how the company has yet to resolve their hundreds of labor law violations still #4the1st #freerumeysa

Shame on Starbucks for letting it get to this point.

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders If you're the Starbucks CEO you get $96 million for 4 months of work including a $5 million bonus. If you're a Starbucks union worker, the CEO is refusing to give you a decent raise to pay rent & buy groceries. Starbucks must end its greed & negotiate a fair union contract.
Thank you, @sanders.senate.gov !

Starbucks should know: This is just the beginning.

Bold text says "WE ARE READY. Starbucks workers authorize a nationwide STRIKE if necessary." alongside the SBWU fist surrounded by a ring of fire
⚠️BREAKING: 98% of SBWU baristas voted to authorize a ULP strike, if necessary - just DAYS before our emergency campaign call Thursday @ 8:30pm PT / 5:30pm ET 🔥✊
Our union is STRONG - and we’re READY. 🧵
Howard Schultz is both a Zionist and anti-union, which conflicts with your post. Support of the organizing workers, however, is merited for both issues

Howard Schultz also has misled about the origin of Starbucks workers' part-time benefits - he claims credit, when the real origin came from (1 of 2)
