Starbucks workers go on strike on Red Cup Day
The strike has been dubbed the "Red Cup Rebellion" by unionized Starbucks baristas, as the strike occurred on the company's Red Cup Day. Since 2018, Starbucks has given out collectible, reusable, red holiday cups to customers on Red Cup Day.
Starbucks Workers United, the union organizing baristas, said Thursday morning that the strike already had closed some stores and was expected to force more to close later in the day, according to The Associated Press.
Sixty-five Starbucks locations across more than 40 U.S. cities have been affected by the strikes, according to a news release from Starbucks Workers United.
I’m not a fan of the chain’s burnt-coffee overpriced brew myself, but the union for these oppressed workers has a website giving the location of individual picket lines should you wish to relive your hippy days and show your support. This may be your last chance before they’re all replaced with robots.
