Worker-led Independent Labor Union at Seattle Art Museum
BOYCOTT STARBUCKS!
Drinking Starbucks during Starbucks Workers United’s strike weakens worker power. On Nov 26th, VSOs voted to endorse the No Contract No Coffee Pledge, because workers have each other’s backs. We encourage all our members and community supporters to boycott Starbucks until SBWU reaches a contract.
In addition, head to https://www.nocontractnocoffee.org/ to find about picket lines near you, and also to donate to strike funds for baristas near you!
Currently the Starbucks in Georgetown are planning to join the strike but they need help. Find more about them at IG: @sbwu.georgetown and donate to their strike fund through Venmo: @georgetownstrikefund
Our Union History
Is short (we started in 2021!), but we’re proud of it. It involves our origins in direct workplace action, and our historic 2024 strike that restored retirement for all workers at SAM. Check out our story in more depth below:
