Congrats to over 200 maintenance workers, nursing assistants, dietary aides and psychiatric technicians in Providence, Rhode Island who responded to staffing issues and pay increases that don’t keep up with inflation by forming their union with SEIU 1199 NE! 💪🏿💪🏽💪🏻

Starbucks Execs = Illegal Union Busters Thus, the Boycott. Starbucks must stop violating labor law and come to the table to bargain for a fair contract with the 12,000+ @sbworkersunited.org baristas who have won their union!

Starbucks Workers United@sbworkersunited.org · 14h ago

Union Starbucks baristas are excited to tell you about our union’s call for a boycott - and we’re serving FREE Solidarity Spice Lattes and coffee for everyone who visits! We’ll be at NYC City Hall until 11am. Catch us at the Empire State Building from 12pm-4pm!

Nurses, security officers, teachers, warehouse workers & more are BOYCOTTING Starbucks! We’re sick of corporations who act like following the law and respecting our rights is optional. We aren’t spending a dime at a company that disrespects workers. No contract, no coffee. Period. #BoycottStarbucks

Working people have one more win to celebrate. Congratulations to @scolom.bsky.social, who will become the first Democrat elected to the Senate from MS in 40+ years! Working people helped make this win possible—and we look forward to seeing him fight for the people who sent him to Washington ✊

(1/2) The South has something to say! And today, Mississippi said it loud and clear. Congratulations to Senator-Elect Scott Colom on his election to the U.S. Senate. This is the power of working people when they organize and vote, even with obstacles and suppression in their way.

Happy #VeteransDay to all those who have served in the United States Armed Forces. 🇺🇲

Together, we rejected a government that puts billionaires ahead of our families, and organized for our Money, Power, & Respect. All across America, SEIU members and voters rejected the divisiveness & cost of the MAGA agenda that has our families paying more, getting sicker, & living in fear.

We should make it easier to keep families together and workers in their jobs. Instead, immigrant workers are being deported despite court orders. We are stronger when everyone has the safety, protections, and opportunities to thrive without fear of deportation or family separation.

Immigrants Are Being Systematically Returned Home Despite Court Orders

Working with the Trump administration, foreign partners accept deportees, then ship them to nations where the U.S. itself would be prohibited from sending them.

Trump didn’t “fight for working people.” He used the presidency to enrich himself and #GreedyCEOs. He’s more than doubled his wealth through crypto schemes, pressure campaigns, and blatant pay-to-play politics. “America First” was another cover for Trump’s own self-interest.

Baristas are STILL demanding a fair contract. So guess what? It’s #NoContractNoCoffee. We stand with working people, not the billionaire brewing union busting on the side!

Starbucks Workers United@sbworkersunited.org · 5d ago

Starbucks has shown us time and time again that they’re willing to let stories like these slide under the rug in the name of corporate greed. Customers, it's time to help us tell Starbucks enough is enough. BOYCOTT STARBUCKS!

NEW: Union households made up a historic 15% of the electorate this election 👀 That’s why @seiupres.bsky.social told @symonedsanders.bsky.social @eugenedaniels2.bsky.social: “we lifted those leaders up—now it’s time they hold us down” ✊✊

It’s time to raise the minimum wage so the working people who make America run can actually put food on their table this holiday season. As Thanksgiving gets closer, working people are already struggling with less food on their grocery budgets.

Trump’s Labor Department just gutted affirmative action provisions & mandatory anti harassment training for apprentices & supervisors. This is another massive step backward for a country, where too often, opportunity & potential for working people are still inextricably tied to our color & origin.

Labor Department Guts Discrimination Rules for Apprenticeships

The US Department of Labor is unraveling requirements that companies establish diversity goals for registered apprenticeship programs, its latest deregulatory action regarding workforce development.
