Los Angeles, Chicago, and Seattle face disruptions as baristas demand better pay and conditions
The Starbucks Workers United union, representing over 10,000 baristas across 525 U.S. stores, announced strikes in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Seattle starting Friday morning. The action comes amid unresolved disputes over wages, staffing levels, and scheduling.
The union warned of escalating walkouts potentially involving hundreds of stores nationwide if agreements are not reached by December 24, a critical period for Starbucks' holiday sales.
In response, Starbucks reiterated its commitment to continued negotiations, claiming union delegates prematurely ended recent bargaining sessions.
