The useful part

Starbucks workers have been fighting with the company for years, first to be allowed to unionize and now to get their first contract. However, Starbucks has been pulling every dirty trick in the book and has refused to bargain in good faith. They are currently leaning heavily on AI technology and continue to put increasingly punitive policies in place to make things more difficult for its baristas.

How it works

Starbucks Workers United has been on strike for several months, but has now bumped it up to calling for a national boycott of the coffee chain.
Naturally, the company is denying everything and claims that they are offering a competitive wage and are working on productive bargaining.
If that were true, the NLRB wouldn't have ruled against them hundreds of times.
Until Starbucks reaches a contract agreement with the union, please honor the picket line and don't go to Starbucks.
