Starbucks Workers United (SWU) is the union for US coffee chain Starbucks. They have successfully unionized 122 of the 33,833 stores.[1][2]

The successes of the union drive represent a rising trade-union consciousness, as Lenin calls it.[3] To socialists, this rising level of consciousness must be converted into class consciousness.
