No Contract, No Coffee | Starbucks Workers United Starbucks baristas brewing change. Join the movement for fair contracts, better wages, and worker protections.

Starbucks knows where workers stand. They know the demands.
And 92% of baristas said: we’re ready to strike.

If Starbucks keeps ignoring them, Red Cup Day won’t be business as usual, it’ll be Red Cup Rebellion.

Stand with baristas. Don’t shop at Starbucks if they strike. https://seiu.co/NoContract

Working people made clear throughout this shutdown: healthcare is not negotiable.
We showed up. We spoke out. This deal is weak, but our movement is not.
We won’t back down until Congress takes action to ensure every worker gets backpay and every American can afford care.

Sen. Pappas also led on earned sick and safe time, giving Minnesota workers the time to care for themselves or loved ones without losing pay, and on creating a nation-leading Nursing Home Workforce Standards Board raising wages and guaranteeing paid holidays.

Notably, she authored the bill that made possible the largest union election in state history.

Because of her work, more than 25,000 home care workers had the chance to win their union—and have since secured multiple contracts raising wages, benefits, and respect for this work.

NOW: 600 Allina doctors, physicians’ assistants, and nurse practitioners who are members of Doctors Council - SEIU are on a 1-day ULP strike. The union hoped they could avoid a strike, but Allina continues to propose cuts and changes that would be bad for providers and patients. #UnionStrong

We know that elections are just one step in our fight for safe communities, affordable homes, clean air, and good jobs, but union members aren’t afraid of hard work and long fights for justice. Thank you to everyone who took time to build a better city. ✊💜

We brought together a multi-generational, multilingual, multi-racial coalition that was able to make change possible. This election, across MPLS, we showed that when we come together across race, neighborhood, and background, we can build a city that truly works for all of us.

Honored to be endorsed by SEIU, we had a great morning knocking doors with @seiumn.bsky.social, and SEIU Local 284 and labor leaders. For five years we've been in the trenches together fighting, and winning, for workers and families. That's exactly what we'll do together when I'm the Mayor.

Who is Backing Lydia Millard? 6

Lydia Millard’s campaign is short on actual ideas, but long on donors who fought against the labor standards board and vital renter protections that @aishaforward10.com helped pass.

Vote ‘yes’ on Nov. 4: Administrative citations promise quicker fix to violations I am a legislative aide in the Ward 3 office at City Hall. Every day constituents reach out to our office looking to share an opinion, an insight or often

Be sure to read this Op-Ed from @tombasgen.bsky.social on how voting Yes on Administrative Citations will improve the lives of renters by giving the city an essential enforcement tool. He also corrects some of the misinformation circulating about the policy.

Lydia Millard’s campaign is backed by the same people trying to prop up Mayor Frey.

Millard and Frey are supported by a long list of GOP donors & landlords w/ extensive property violations. None is worse than Brian Fitterer who recently settled a $5 million lawsuit with the MN Attorney’s General.
