Support Striking Baristas Recover Lost Wages

Hi there! We are the baristas of the only unionized Starbucks in the state of Nebraska.

Recently, a beloved barista and union organizer named Casey Mitchell was terminated. According to federal labor law, it is illegal to discriminately enforce a policy against one employee but not the others. Additionally, we feel MGMT misquoted the incident reports and company policy used to justify the illegal termination, then left out the notice of separation unattended in our back-room for anyone to see before leaving for the day. Workers saw the notice before MGMT communicated anything with Casey. That in itself is a violation of company policy for partner privacy & non-disclosure. With this, we believe Casey's termination was an act of union-busting and intimidation.

To combat this, we went on strike in solidarity with Casey. We are now raising funds to supplement lost wages for Casey and the striking baristas as many of us live paycheck to paycheck due to Starbucks' failure to schedule us appropriately.

We are greatly appreciative of any contributions made to our strike fund!
