Over 10,000 Starbucks baristas, represented by Workers United, have launched a strike today across major U.S. cities. The strike, driven by demands for improved wages and working conditions, marks one of the largest coordinated labor actions in the company’s history.
The union has indicated that the walkouts may escalate in the coming days, potentially impacting hundreds of stores nationwide by Christmas Eve—a critical period for Starbucks' holiday sales. Workers have long voiced concerns over insufficient pay and challenging workplace environments, intensifying their call for change during the peak holiday rush.
