Starbucks union’s “strike before Christmas” spreads to 300 stores

Salon  

You may want to figure out how to whip up a Peppermint Mocha at home — this Christmas, your local Starbucks workers might be on strike. At least 5,000 employees at more than 300 Starbucks locations throughout the U.S. plan to join the union’s planned work stoppage on Tuesday, capping the union’s five-day strike that began Dec. 20, Bloomberg reports. Starbucks Workers United represents employees at more than 500 stores, and the Christmas Eve stoppages represent “a breakdown” in the union’s negotiations with company leadership for better wages and improved hours and schedules, according to Bloomberg. Meanwhile, Brian Niccol’s compensation package is worth $57,000 an hour,” Silvia Baldwin, a Philadelphia barista and bargaining delegate, said in a statement from the union. “The company just announced I’m only getting a 2.5% raise next year, $0.40 an hour, which is hardly anything.” Starbucks said in a statement that its baristas earn average wages of $18 an hour, and baristas that work more than 20 hours per week earn an average of $30 an hour when benefits are included.
