Yesterday I was riding my bike home from the rec center near Ypsilanti, Michigan, USA when I rode by the Starbucks near my house, hearing chants ("the Workers United, will never be divided") and seeing a small picket line in front of the entrance.
There were about 8 #StarbucksWorkersUnited members carrying out an educational picket line (not trying to turn away business).
One worker there named Chris had been recently fired on phony work violations, and that was the main reason for the picket. (Chris is the guy in the middle with his fist raised.)
I learned that this #Starbucks is unionized, but they still do not have a contract after 2 years. Starbucks is trying to wear them down until they give up.
They are asking people to fill out a No Contract, No Coffee pledge which can be found at this URL: https://tinyurl.com/SBWUPledge (It is not a pledge to boycott Starbucks, just to support the union.)
