man I'm feeling like we're back in the 90s when unions were all about fighting for fair wages and decent working conditions, you know? now it's like they're striking again and I gotta say I'm kinda impressed by these baristas who are standin' up for what's right, I mean $17 an hour is nothing compared to what we used to get back in the day 
. but seriously though, it's sad that it comes down to this, a nationwide strike on Red Cup Day? it just shows how far Starbucks has fallen from its humble beginnings as a coffee shop with a mission to make the world a better place 
️. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if they listen to their workers and make some changes

I'm kinda surprised that baristas are taking a stand like this, especially on Red Cup Day which is supposed to be super busy and fun. But honestly, $17 an hour isn't exactly a living wage in most cities, and understaffing can make for some pretty long shifts. 
It's cool that they're speaking up about their concerns and demanding better working conditions. Maybe it'll bring about some change at Starbucks? 
I'm curious to see how this whole situation plays out and if the union is able to negotiate a fair contract with the company. 
. I mean, who wouldn't want fair treatment and better pay? The fact that they're picketing on Red Cup Day is pretty bold, but it's about time someone spoke up about the lack of progress in negotiations under Brian Niccol's leadership. It's not just about them, as Michelle Eisen said - it's about their families and friends who are counting on a living wage 
.
. The strike may be ongoing, but the momentum seems to be building in favor of the workers. One thing is for sure: it won't be a holiday season to forget without some significant change on the horizon 
.
this nationwide strike just shows how burnt out baristas are 
they're not asking for much just fair pay and decent working conditions 
like every other human being in the US should get 
17 an hour is a joke, especially when you gotta work crazy hours and deal with constant understaffing 
it's time for Starbucks to step up its game and treat its employees with respect 
They're striking on one of their busiest days just to get some respect from management. I mean, I'm all for fair treatment and higher pay, but $17 an hour is still pretty decent, right? 
Maybe it's time for a retail industry-wide overhaul? 
They're speaking truth to power and demanding better treatment from Starbucks. I mean, who wouldn't want a fair contract that addresses understaffing and high pay? It's not just about them, it's about their families and friends too 
The fact that they're organizing a nationwide strike on Red Cup Day is lit 
, because what better way to get the company's attention than during one of its busiest days? I'm rooting for them, hoping they get the outcome they deserve
