“While workers are on strike, I won’t be buying any Starbucks, and I’m asking you to join us,” stated Zohran Mamdani, the New York City mayor-elect who has said he would have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrested if he comes to the Big Apple.
Starbucks workers across the country are on an Unfair Labor Practices strike, fighting for a fair contract.
While workers are on strike, I won’t be buying any Starbucks, and I’m asking you to join us.
Together, we can send a powerful message: No contract, no coffee. https://t.co/Cw0WMf2hVW

“Together, we can send a powerful message,” he said. “No contract. No coffee.”
Katie Wilson, the Seattle mayor-elect who has accused Israel of “genocide,” reportedly said, “I’m not buying Starbucks, and you should not either.”
I’m trying to figure out what genocide and arresting Netanyahu has to do with this story. As they say stick to the facts
I do not usually buy coffee in Starbucks….but now I sure will and as often as possible
The current and up and coming usa,
Coming to all of American soon
Can’t a business decide when they have to cut employment to make more money
Perhaps all the workers should take a voluntary pay cut so everyone will have their jobs?
Then force companies to slash prices
Then they will all go israel if business
No where to buy
When MAGA controls the GOP with ICE goons arresting children, with Trump toxic tariffs, with him sending in troops to US Cities and dismantling the Constitution… and Dems ignoring working folks, you get Dem-Socialists!
