Starbucks Workers Strike in NYC, Demanding Better Conditions
Update: 2025-12-05
Description
Starbucks Workers United held a large rally in New York City, marking the third week of their open-ended strike. Protesters, including baristas and union members, gathered outside the Empire State Building, chanting slogans like No coffee, no contract and Whats disgusting? Union busting. The strike began on Starbucks Red Cup Day, with workers seeking improved hours, higher wages, and resolution of unfair labor practice charges. Despite the ongoing strike, Starbucks reported strong sales for Red Cup Day. Meanwhile, Starbucks paid $38.9 million to settle Fair Workweek Law violations. Both parties blame each other for the lack of a bargaining agreement, with Starbucks maintaining that 99% of its U.S. locations remain open.
