Lawmakers Urge Starbucks to Reopen Union Talks
Update: 2025-11-11
Description
Over one hundred lawmakers, including Senator Bernie Sanders, urged Starbucks to restart talks with its unionized workers, as the Workers United union plans a strike in twenty-five cities. The lawmakers emphasized Starbucks financial capability, citing the CEOs ninety-five million dollar compensation package. The union, representing over twelve thousand workers, seeks better hours, higher wages, and resolution of unfair labor practice charges. Starbucks, however, claims the union only represents nine thousand five hundred workers. Both sides blame each other for stalled negotiations, but the union is ready to strike, potentially disrupting the holiday season.
