No matter where we work, we should all be free to organize together for better working conditions, affordable benefits, and to be paid a fair return on our work.

But since 2021, Starbucks executives have been trying to take away that freedom by launching a scorched-earth union busting campaign to stop workers from having a voice in how the company operates. The company has committed hundreds of labor rights violations from unjust firings to intimidation here in Washington and across the nation to prevent us from coming together to demand what we deserve.

The University of Washington has a chance to live their values and hold Starbucks accountable, by choosing not to renew the contract that makes Starbucks the exclusive coffee provider for the campus. That’s why we’re coming together to demand that UW President Ana Marie Cauce uphold UW’s values by refusing to renew the contract with Starbucks when it expires on June 30th!
