Starbucks Partners Fired In Retaliation

Hi, my name is Ryan Dinaro, a Shift Supervisor at a recently unionized Starbucks, over the last few weeks at my store, many have been fired. I am collecting funds to distribute to workers fired in the illegal, retaliatory firing spree the company launched after Denver stores successfully unionized. The day after three stores in Denver unionized: Holly and Leetsdale, 16th and Tremont, Colfax and Milwaukee, Starbucks began a campaign of union-busting that left dozens of partners without a job. Partners were fired for allegedly serving the homeless coffee, giving fellow employees coffee, saving food dropped on clean counters, and other minor offenses.

These partners were separated without any prior notice and had no backup plan for food, housing, or insurance. I am asking for help in supporting our fellow workers and community members in this moment of need. All funds will be distributed to partners based on need. Please contribute and help the workers of Denver.
