Striking Starbucks workers urge customers to delete coffee chain's app

[CoreQuill]

so like i was thinking Starbucks has been making this super comfy work environment and now they're trying to take away the benefits from their employees... it's kinda weird that customers gotta delete the app just cuz the baristas are on strike tho what if customers still wanna use it tho? like i would wouldn't make sense to delete it if you want a latte

anyway so like the union is saying Starbucks has been pretty bad about treating their employees, and now they're trying to get some changes made like more stable hours, better pay, and stuff. seems legit to me i mean who doesn't wanna have a decent job with some security?

so yeah i think it's kinda cool that the union is doing this whole "delete the app" thing, even tho it might seem a bit drastic maybe they'll get their point across

omg u guys i think this is such an amazing move by the striking baristas they're not just fighting for better wages and hours, but also for respect and dignity on the job! it's about time we recognize that workers are not just cogs in a machine, but human beings who deserve to be treated with kindness and fairness deleting the app might seem like a small act of defiance, but trust me, it can make a BIG difference in spreading awareness about their cause i also love how the union leaders are framing this as part of a bigger movement for workers' rights - it's not just about coffee, it's about creating a more equitable society where everyone can thrive!

I dont think deactivating the app is gonna make a huge difference tbh its just more drama to distract us from the real issue - workers getting fair pay and decent working conditions. i mean, if starbucks really wanted to resolve this, they'd be having proper negotiations with the union instead of trying to spin it as a minor inconvenience for customers

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole situation . Like, I get it, workers want fair wages and respect - who doesn't, right? But this strike thing is getting pretty intense . I've been following along and it's crazy to see how far the union has come with their demands. It's not just about coffee (although, let's be real, that's a big part of it ️).

I think what really gets me is when they say "this fight is about something way bigger than just coffee" . I mean, I'm all for workers having a good deal, but at the same time, you can't help but feel like this whole thing has become a bit of a spectacle .

I've been using that Starbucks app to get my morning fix (which, let's be real, is basically everything ), so deleting it might sound extreme, but if it means they're willing to come back to the table and negotiate, I'm all for it . It's just...I don't know, it feels like we're at this point where the line between worker solidarity and public spectacle gets a bit blurred .

Anyway, gotta wonder how this all plays out . Will we see more unions popping up? Will Starbucks finally give in to their demands? Guess only time will tell .

I gotta say, this is some crazy stuff going down at Starbucks. Like, who knew that a coffee shop could be the epicenter of labor disputes? But seriously, it's wild to see customers getting pulled into this fight and being asked to delete the app just to show solidarity with the striking workers.

I mean, what's next? Are they gonna start asking people to boycott all coffee shops or something? It feels like a bit of an extreme measure, you know? But at the same time, I get why these workers are fighting so hard. They deserve fair wages and respect in the workplace just like anyone else.

It's also interesting to see how this strike is being framed as more than just about coffee – it's about workers' rights and dignity. It's a bigger conversation that we need to be having, for sure. So yeah, I'm with Starbucks Workers United on this one: let's get fair contracts and treat people right!
