Starbucks Strike to Extend to Over 300 Locations

The Starbucks strike will extend to more than 300 stores across the United States on Tuesday, with over 5,000 employees expected to walk off the job before the five-day work stoppage ends on Christmas Eve, according to the workers’ union.

Starbucks, which operates over 10,000 company-managed stores across the U.S., stated that 98% of its locations remained open on Tuesday, with about 170 stores closed.

Low Paying Jobs

The strike on Tuesday is expected to be the largest in the company’s history, said Starbucks Workers United. “These strikes are a first show of strength, and we have only just begun,” said a barista from Oregon in a statement from the union.

The union, representing employees at 525 locations nationwide, has called for strikes in 12 major cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Boston, and Seattle, over issues like wages, staffing, and scheduling.

Salary Negotiations

The strike began last Friday after negotiations between Starbucks and the union reached an impasse.

Starbucks declined to comment on the estimated impact of the strike on its overall operations, having previously stated that the expected impact would be “very limited.”

Earlier this month, the workers’ group rejected an offer that did not include immediate wage increases and only promised a 1.5% increase in the coming years.
