"The 11,000-member Starbucks Workers United is protesting the company's failure to finalize a union contract, calling for improved staffing levels, higher take-home pay and a resolution to outstanding unfair labor practice charges related to union busting."
"Union members have been on an open-ended unfair labor practice strike since Nov. 13, making it the longest ULP strike in Starbucks history."
Dozens of striking Starbucks union baristas picketed in Gowanus on Dec. 1 with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, calling on the company to return to bargaining and offer a fair contract. The open-ended unfair labor practice strike began Nov. 13 and became the longest ULP strike in Starbucks history, escalating on Black Friday when hundreds more joined about 2,000 workers at 95 stores in 65 cities. The 11,000-member Starbucks Workers United demands improved staffing, higher take-home pay, and resolution of more than 700 unresolved ULP charges amid over 1,000 filed complaints.
