At a popular Starbucks in Brooklyn’s Clinton Hill, hundreds of people – including workers, union allies and community supporters – filled the sidewalks. In 40F (4.4C) weather, picketers held signs, marched, and chanted “What’s disgusting? Union-busting!” and “No contract, no coffee!”
More than a thousand Starbucks workers across the US walked off the job on Thursday in over 40 cities, marking one of the largest coordinated actions yet by the rapidly growing union movement inside the world’s largest coffee chain.
