"We want everyone, including Starbucks, to know that we know our rights and are acting within the law, and we want the contract that we are legally entitled to. We’re ready to bargain when they are.”that the decision to protest on Red Cup Day is symbolic of the group's bigger goal of shining a light on staffing issues.
