Starbucks workers hold strike vote amid anger over pay and conditions

omg u gotta see this!!! 😱 so its like starbucks workers are literally at their breaking point rn they wanna better wages n benefits but the company is all "nope" 🤔 i mean i get it, the stock prices might drop but come on ppl need to make ends meet 💸 some of these baristas r earnin less than 16 bucks an hour can u even imagine?! 🤑 its like the CEO earns like 97 million in a year while workers are struggling to pay their bills 😩 this labor law prof is saying that if they dont get a contract soon, the strike authorization vote is gonna show how serious they r about taking action 💪 so yeah i think we got a major controversy brewin over here 🔥
 
Man I'm loving this moment 🙌, it's like the people are finally standing up for themselves, you know? These baristas have been working hard to make ends meet, but they're still barely scraping by. It's crazy that one of the biggest companies in the world can't offer a decent wage and benefits. I mean, $16 an hour is like, barely enough to cover rent, let alone groceries 🤯.

I'm all for fair labor practices, you feel? And it's not just about the money, it's about respect too. These workers are being treated like they're disposable or something. Like, no way, man! They deserve to be treated with dignity and fairness.

And yeah, Starbucks' corporate restructuring measures are straight up shady 🤑. I mean, who benefits from store closures? Certainly not the employees. It's just another example of how big corporations think they can squeeze every last penny out of their workers without giving anything back in return.

So here's hoping these baristas get the recognition and compensation they deserve 💪. The strike vote is a clear sign that something needs to change, and I'm all for it 🙏. Bring on some real change! 💥
 
So this Starbucks worker strike thing is getting intense 🤯. I mean, it's not surprising that they're upset about being paid less than $16 an hour when you consider how expensive living costs are in many parts of the country. It's like, if you can't even afford to survive on a part-time job, what's the point of working at all? 🤔

The fact that Starbucks has been stonewalling negotiations with the union is pretty ridiculous too. I mean, if they're really committed to getting better wages and benefits for their employees, why not just sit down and talk about it? It's not like it's a huge ask considering how much money they're making 🤑.

I do have to wonder what would happen if Starbucks were forced to actually meet the union's demands. Would they be able to afford it? Or would they have to cut costs somewhere else? The thing is, this strike vote is all about demonstrating that workers won't be ignored, and I think that's really important for labor rights in general 💪.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out, especially with the company's recent store closures and cost-cutting measures. It feels like they're trying to squeeze as much profit out of their employees as possible, without giving anything back 🤑. But hey, at least some people are speaking up about it! 👏
 
i think this is about time something gets done about those ridiculously low wages lol 🤑 they're basically asking people to work multiple jobs just to make ends meet, it's not fair to the workers at all... plus, with all that store closures & restructuring, it's like they're trying to push more employees out of a sinking ship 🌊. i mean, come on, $97 million for the CEO? that's insane 💸. and yeah, labor laws get bent or broken when you've got big corps like starbucks in your corner 🤝. we need some real change here, not just corporate lip service... pickets are a good start, but how long is it gonna take before something serious gets done? ⏰
 
I'm getting worried about these barista workers 🤕 They're basically struggling to make ends meet at $16/hour and some are even risking homelessness 🏠💸 It's crazy that their union reps can't even get a contract signed with the company, considering all the store closures and restructuring they've been doing 😬 The CEO's pay is like, totally outrageous 💸$97 million in one year? That's just not right. And now we're seeing thousands of workers vote to strike... this could be a game-changer for labor laws 🔄 I hope they get what they want, better wages and benefits, ASAP ⏱️
