Fellow Union Members and Friends:

Anna Hurst is a New York City barista, Starbucks Union member, and a single mother of two.

One day in August, Anna went home ill from work at Starbucks. In retaliation, her store manager - abruptly and without notice - denied her any work hours for two full weeks.

Anna needs the money she's owed to put food on the table, pay her bills, and buy Christmas presents for her children.

Call and/or text message store manager Gwendolyn Krueger today at 551-497-0127 and demand that Starbucks pay Anna what she is owed!

This action for dignity will last seven days, Dec. 5-Dec. 12

Thank you for your solidarity and please share this e-mail with friends and co-workers.

1. I gave her a call.

It was an ordeal, but I eventually got through to voice mail and politely demanded she render Ms. Hurst what she is due.
