The summer screening series continues with…

Jobs with potential to move up in the company!  Competitive pay.  Healthcare benefits available.  We love our employees and believe in working to move each other forward! 

Do you work at Starbucks and remember thinking your job was going to be great?  Do your feet and wrists hurt after a shift of thankless work?  Are you making just above minimum wage?  Do you find yourself having to be available even when you're not, just so you can keep your job?

Are you tired of this treatment?

Have you ever left a job because your boss made your life miserable?  Have you ever gone home feeling tired and beat up from work?  Did you feel this way because you thought you couldn't do anything about it?

Well, you can do something about it - FIRE YOUR BOSS!  

The Starbucks Workers Union is working to fire their bosses and take control of their jobs!  

On Thursday, July 23,at 8pm, the Starbucks Workers Union, in collaboration with Red Emma's and the Baltimore IWW, will be screening three short documentaries. These documentaries, including “Together We Win: The Fight to Organize Starbucks”, feature all the different ways the union is organizing to fire the bosses of Starbucks. These efforts are so that the workers can have the dignity and the power that all workers deserve on the shop floor.

For this screening, Red Emma’s and the Baltimore IWW, are very proud to be hosting some of the organizers of the Starbucks Workers Union. They will be here to not only discuss the campaign and what you see in the film, but also to share their personal insights into the efforts, facilitate discussion about union organizing (and all things related), and give direct responses to whatever questions you may have.

We hope you will join us for what promises to be an empowering, frank, and thought-provoking evening.

 Oh yeah, and did you know that Red Emma's is part of the IWW? Yup, the collective members here are Wobblies. We believe that even though we don't have any bosses, as a worker collective, when we stand in solidarity as one big union, we help fight the bosses and help bring about a world where worker collectives are the norm and both horizontal organization and empowerment are musts.
