Starbucks Union Strike Expands, Affecting Hundreds of Stores
Update: 2025-11-20
Description
Starbucks baristas, backed by the Workers United union, launch largest strike in company history, impacting nearly one hundred stores across sixty-five cities. Aiming for better hours, higher wages, and resolution of labor practice charges, around two thousand baristas participate. Despite disruptions, Starbucks reports strong sales, with holiday launch marking biggest sales days ever in North America. Union, which started organizing in 2021, now represents over eleven thousand workers across more than five hundred fifty stores. Five non-union stores file for union elections, indicating growing interest in unionization. Both sides express readiness to negotiate, but blame each other for lack of bargaining agreement. Ninety-nine percent of Starbucks U.S. locations remain open, with no meaningful disruption expected from the strike.
