On Sept. 24, our Starbucks Workers United team at Corbins Corner in West Hartford learned our store would close Sept. 27, one of 250 closures. For many of us, Starbucks is our primary income. Please share and help if you can! gofund.me/9dd9e22df

America’s unions honor the memory of all of those who were killed in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, including more than 600 members of our union family whom we continue to mourn today.
The labor movement will continue to stand in solidarity and honor their legacy.

25 years later, we remember.
#UPFFA honors the nearly 3,000 lives lost on 9/11, including 343 @FDNY #firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice. We remember the fallen, the responders, their families and all those still impacted by 9/11-related illness. #neverforget 🇺🇸

Proud to have the support of Connecticut’s AFL-CIO and looking forward to working together in this fight. While families get squeezed from every direction, the Trump administration is attacking the right to organize, dismantling labor protections, and giving tax cuts to those who make the most. I look forward to pushing for the big changes we need to build an economy that actually works for working families and the middle class.
