Starbucks Workers United launches 65-store strike

Starbucks Workers United has launched an open-ended strike involving over 1,000 workers across at least 65 stores in 40 cities, during the company’s annual Red Cup day. This escalation follows a union vote with over 92% support for striking and recent stalled bargaining talks, highlighting ongoing labor disputes over wages and working conditions. The strike could become the longest in Starbucks history, surpassing previous 64-day actions, with union leaders emphasizing preparations and internal organization efforts. Starbucks disputes the scale of the strike, claiming fewer stores and workers are involved, while protests reflect deeper issues related to labor law violations and bargaining failures.
