"UNDERSTAFFED. OVERWORKED. Starbucks baristas deserve better!" is paired with a barista sweating and tearing up while writing on a cup. Dozens of cups litter the graphic around them, and silhouettes of angry people are in the background. The Starbucks Workers United logo sits in the corner.

Pressure to write messages on every cup during an understaffed rush - its more likely than you think😵‍💫

Our union is fighting for fair wages, scheduling, & more. If Starbucks can pay CEO Brian Niccol $800k a DAY, they can invest better in US, the workers.

‘Chicago has always been a city of immigrant workers’: Some Chicago businesses close their doors to protest immigration crackdown As immigrant communities entered a third week of fear and uncertainty in the shadow of immigration action, some business owners closed up shop as part of a national “Day Without Immigrants.&#…

Chicago has always been a city of immigrant workers, regardless of status. Immigrants work in every sector of our economy and every part of the city. Immigrants are vital members of our workforce and unions. The labor movement in Chicago was built on that foundation.

Trump order to dismantle the education department in the works, sources say President Trump could soon sign an executive order directing the secretary of education to dismantle the federal Department of Education, sources told ABC News.

Dismantling the Dept. of Ed is NOT how we put families first. It's an extremist scheme to gut public schools & take away educational opportunities for children, students with disabilities & more. A slap in the face to school workers across the country.
