New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani called for a boycott of coffee chain Starbucks as he urged his followers to do the same. The call comes as workers for the coffee giant go on a nationwide strike.
Mamdani took to X to weigh in on a post by the Starbucks Workers United account, which announced on 13 November that its workers are officially going on strike all over the country. New York City's democratic socialist mayor-elect declared his support and announced that he also plans to join in the boycott of the drink until the workers receive better contracts.
