Starbucks workers across the United States are gearing up for a five-day strike set to commence on Friday. The strike is a response to the perceived lack of progress in contract negotiations between the workers and the company.
The strikes are initially planned to kick off in major cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and Seattle, with the potential to expand to hundreds of stores nationwide by Christmas Eve. The union representing Starbucks workers, Starbucks Workers United, has been organizing employees at 535 company-owned U.S. stores since 2021.
