Unionized Starbucks workers are currently engaged in an open-ended nationwide strike. It began on Red Cup Day, Thursday, November 13.
The strike began at over 65 stores in 40 U.S. cities and has the potential to spread to more of the roughly 550 unionized locations.
“Over 1,000 workers are on strike, citing stalled contract talks and alleged unfair labor practices,” Mamdani tweeted.” Starbucks workers across the country are on an Unfair Labor Practices strike, fighting for a fair contract. While workers are on strike, I won’t be buying any Starbucks, and I’m asking you to join us. Together, we can send a powerful message: No contract, no coffee.”
Starbucks says that an “overwhelming majority” of its more than 10,000 U.S. stores remain open. Adding the strike has little impact on operations.
