Thousands of unionized Starbucks workers will walk off their jobs on Thursday, with the one-day work stoppages coming to protest the company’s stance with shops that voted to organize, according to Starbucks Workers United.
The labor action is timed to for Starbucks’ Red Cup Day, an annual event in which the coffee giant hands out holiday-themed reusable cups. Starbucks has refused to negotiate in good faith over staffing and other issues that are particularly acute during promotions, according to the union.
“Starbucks is creating unnecessarily stressful working conditions by scheduling promotion after promotion without increasing staffing,” Neha Cremin, a Starbucks worker in Oklahoma City, said in a statement to CBS MoneyWatch. “Starbucks has made it clear that they won’t listen to workers, so we’re advocating for ourselves by going on strike.”
Some of the stores by us today have their keyhole glued so no one can get in
There’s no way there’s no cameras… the cops work for Corps, those hero’s are getting the book thrown at them.
Meanwhile I’ll be over here continuing to never buy overpriced retail caffeinated sugar drink from a godawful megacorporation, like I’ve done since 1987.
Was that after your friends died in an Orange Mocha Frapachino fueled freak accident gasoline fight.

I can’t wait for flipppy to be able to do coffee shops. I am so sick of people getting abused at these places while their terrible experiences come out in awful service or products.
Even if starbucks employees all unionize the jobs they have will only exist for a little while.
Should bitch about the cost of living and education rather than how you wanna keep a trash tier job.
Oh no! If they walk out on red cup day, how will all the basic white women get their reusable cup that they’re gonna just post a picture of on their twitter/x before throwing it out after they finish their drink? Won’t they think of the social media influencers who think Starbucks is a high quality luxury status symbol?
