Starbucks: Union Buster.
Authoritarian Enabler.
This May Day — drive up, speak up, drive away.
Workers Over Billionaires
Starbucks made $10 billion in net profit in FY2025 — while signing ZERO collective bargaining agreements with its unions and lending its brand to an authoritarian agenda.
Today, we use our wallets to say:
Get to the bargaining table. Withdraw support for authoritarianism.

How to Participate
- 1Drive to your local Starbucks.
- 2Pull up and place an order.
- 3At the pickup window, tell the worker: "I changed my mind about this purchase."
- 4Hand them the statement card.
- 5Drive away. They make the drink. They pour it out. Cash drawer empty. Tip jar full.
Most boycotts are invisible. This one costs Starbucks money and delivers your message directly — every single time.
WHY
Why
Bad for Workers.
Bad for Democracy.
Bad for Democracy.
Labor first: Starbucks has crushed union rights, blocked contracts, and pocketed billions while baristas fight for basic benefits and job security.
Democracy second: Starbucks is actively lending its brand and resources to an authoritarian political agenda. A company with this power has a responsibility it is choosing to ignore.

You Heard They Unionized.
Here's the Rest.
Here's the Rest.
That's only half the story. Starbucks refused to negotiate.
560+ US stores voted to unionize. Contracts signed with workers: ZERO.
In Chile: 176 Starbucks locations, all with active contracts. Same company. It's a choice.
