ROANOKE, VA: The Blue Ridge Industrial Workers of the World General Membership Branch resolutely stands in solidarity with Bridges Starbucks Workers in Roanoke, Virginia against Starbucks Corporation and their store management who refuse to negotiate with Starbucks workers over fair scheduling and hours. 

The struggle for fair scheduling by Bridges Starbucks workers is a universal issue for all workers across the service sector who are expected to tolerate unstable scheduling and fluctuating hours which result in unstable pay and precarious living standards.

All workers deserve living wages, stable schedules, and workplace democracy in our everyday lives. All power to Bridges Starbucks workers and all power to workers of the world! Organize and fight for worker power, worker control, and worker democracy!

In Solidarity,

The Blue Ridge Industrial Workers of the World General Membership Branch
