Starbucks workers are fighting for a fair contract, and the Kentucky labor movement is standing with them. ✊

Kentucky State AFL-CIO President Dustin Reinstedler is calling on our members, affiliates, and partners to join the boycott of Starbucks and stand with Starbucks Workers United baristas in their fight for a fair contract.

And he’s challenging other labor leaders to make their own solidarity video and keep the chain going.

When workers stand up, we stand with them. An injury to one is an injury to all.

☕️❤️‍🔥 We’re going Starbucks-free in solidarity with Starbucks workers until they win a fair contract.

Women are breadwinners, caregivers, workers, and leaders. And they deserve workplaces that recognize that!

Unions help women fight for fair wages, affordable health care, paid leave, fair schedules, and the protections working families need.

When women have a union in their corner, they have a stronger voice at work and a stronger foundation for their families.
