1. Monday, 12Noon – 1:00pm, Leafletting at non-Starbucks store to inform customers Re boycotting Starbucks
150 Van Ness Ave. (@ Hayes)
SF
On November 13, of 2025, over 1,000 baristas in more than 40 cities and65 stores, walked off the job starting an open ended Unfair LaborPractice strike calling it “Red Cup Rebellion.” Baristas are risking it all going against a multi-billion dollar companyin a struggle for a fair contract. Starbucks, one of the largestcoffee-house chains in the world worth $93.5 billion, started as ahumble local coffee shop in Seattle, and now dominates the coffeeindustry. However this success isn’t shared with their workers. Workers organized a union to battle the corporation demanding a livingwage and better working conditions. According to the union, on November 5, union members voted 92 percent‘yes’ to authorize the strike as the company has refused to meet theunion on any of their demands. The union announced that they planned toturn Starbucks’ most popular sales day, “Red Cup Day,” to “Red CupRebellion.” Info: Living Wage Coalition – SF
