Just before the holidays, a bus load of 503 members and Oregon Starbucks workers participated in a powerful action at the company’s headquarters. Thousands of Starbucks workers nationwide have been on strike for more than a month over management’s refusal to bargain a fair contract. Workers and supporters maintained a 24-hour presence at the steps of the corporate HQ until December 22nd, braving intense cold, winds and rain.

Starbucks can well afford a new contract – the company’s revenue for just one day is enough to settle the contract that the workers are demanding. Their CEO, Brian Nichols, makes 6,666 times what the average employee earns.

We are proud to stand with the SBWU (Starbucks Workers Union) in their fight for their first contract. Watch a video from the action here.
