A giant step forward made possible by thousands and thousands of us joining together and speaking out…
🚨THIS IS HUGE.🚨
ALT Workers United and Starbucks share a commitment to developing a productive relationship in the best interests of Starbucks partners. During mediation discussions last week over ongoing brand and IP litigation, a constructive path forward emerged on the broader issues of the future of organizing and collective bargaining at Starbucks. To build on that path, Workers United and Starbucks have agreed to begin discussions on a foundational framework to achieve collective bargaining agreements for represented stores and partners, the resolution of litigation between the union and the company, including brand litigation, and a fair process for workers to organize. As a sign of good faith, Starbucks has agreed to provide workers represented by Workers United with credit card tipping and benefits announced by the company in May of 2022. While there is plenty of work ahead, coming together to develop this framework is a significant step forward and a clear demonstration of a shared commitment.

Today we filed a petition for rehearing, which will temporarily stop Indiana's abortion ban from taking effect as scheduled Aug. 1.
Indiana is on the cusp of implementing a near-total ban, but we're doing everything we can to keep abortion legal for as many Hoosiers as possible.

No contract, no peace.
If we don't get it, shut it down. #SAGAFTRAstrong
Great news for our union siblings in Ft. Wayne!
An emotional city council meeting met its crescendo as Fort Wayne City Council voted on whether or not they would allow non-safety city workers to communicate to the city about working conditions through a union. trib.al/XYiQcK7

The 12.5 million members of @AFLCIO, across all sectors of the economy, stand with @Teamsters in their fight for a strong contract at @UPS.
This is about us. All of us. Our families, our work & our values.
Time for UPS to #PayUP!
UPS’ CHOICE: NEW CONTRACT OR NATIONWIDE STRIKE
The July 5 deadline for @UPS to reach an agreement worthy of 340,000 #Teamsters is fast-approaching. Members have been very clear from the beginning that there will be no extension of the current contract.

We’re bringing Congress to your corner! Our team stops by Indianapolis senior centers to give help and information — like updates on insulin, which is now capped at $35 a month for those on Medicare, thanks to our work last Congress!
Our siblings from USW 2958 are rallying today to show their strength as their contract comes up for expiration in a week. If you are able to get to Kokomo this afternoon, they would love any support! #solidarity

Worker interest in joining a union is at its highest in decades — public support for unions in the U.S. is as high as it was in 1965.
Urged on by a new generation of labor leaders, many workers see unionization as a way to make their companies better.

This Pride let’s set the record straight — Starbucks is not pro-LGBTQ. They do not take care of their queer workers. They are not an ally. They are a corporation waging a war against their workers who are fighting for protections. Enough of corporate performatism - we want more.

This #WorkersMemorialDay, we honor all those killed on the job and hold their loved ones in our hearts.
We remember the dead and fight for the living because a safe workplace isn’t a privilege – it’s every worker’s right.
