Employees could be seen protesting near Times Square in New York, chanting and holding signs of Starbucks Workers United, which represents nearly 7,000 employees across the United States. | via philstarlife
workers in the United States went on strike at multiple unionized locations Thursday , a move planned to affect over 100 stores in protest against the coffee giant's approach in negotiating union contracts.
The action takes place in"response to Starbucks' union-busting tactics and refusal to bargain," Starbucks Workers United said in a statement."Unless Starbucks comes to the table and bargains in good faith for a fair contract, we can count on this to happen again," the union said, raising concerns over salaries and a lack of consistent schedules.
A Starbucks spokesperson said the company is"aware that union demonstrations are scheduled at a small number of our US company-owned stores." Now, Starbucks Workers United represents more than 260 locations—a fraction of around 10,200 stores that Starbucks manages in North America.
