Starbucks
Global
Coffee retail chain.
Work at Starbucks? This is a place to find coworkers around a specific change — better pay, more reliable hours, or safer working conditions. Browse campaigns below, or start a new one without putting your real name on the page.
Organizing at Starbucks
An effective campaign begins with a concrete change coworkers actually want. These are conversation starters, not claims about conditions at Starbucks or a list of active demands. Every team and location is different — only you and your coworkers can decide what matters at yours.
Staffing & floor coverage
Would more people on a shift make it easier to serve customers and take breaks?
Hours & schedules
Would more predictable hours or earlier notice of schedules help your team?
Pay & benefits
Which changes to compensation matter most to partners at your store?
Starbucks workers also organize through Starbucks Workers United, a separate worker-led union effort with resources for partners who want to organize their store. Unison is independent and is not affiliated with Starbucks or Starbucks Workers United.

How to get started
- 1. Pick one clear goalAsk trusted coworkers what matters. Keep the first request specific to your team, shift, or location.
- 2. Verify privatelySign in with a private or work email, then verify you work at Starbucks with a redacted document or eligible coworker vouches. Your documents are visible only to reviewers, not the public.
- 3. Build supportStart a campaign here or pledge to an existing one. Your real name is not shown on public campaign pages; avoid identifying details in anything you post.
In the U.S., many employees have rights to organize with coworkers and discuss wages under federal law; coverage and circumstances vary. Learn more directly from the National Labor Relations Board. Unison is not a union, legal adviser, or substitute for an organizer.
