Red Cup Rebellion: Starbucks workers at hundreds of locations stage strike, walkout

Salon  

Thousands of workers at more than 200 Starbucks locations nationwide went on strike Thursday in what organizers describe is the largest-ever strike in Starbucks history. Dubbed the “Red Cup Rebellion,” the day-long walkout took place on the company’s “Red Cup Day” promotion, which is one of the most infamously understaffed days for Starbucks baristas. Starbucks Workers United said workers at the multinational coffee chain are demanding improved staffing and fair labor practices. “We remain committed to working with all partners, side-by-side, to elevate the everyday, and we hope that Workers United’s priorities will shift to include the shared success of our partners and negotiating contracts for those they represent,” Starbucks said in a statement obtained by the Associated Press. Last month, Starbucks’ relations with Workers United grew more tense after the company sued the union over a pro-Palestine post made on the union’s social media account.
