Starbucks baristas across multiple cities plan a major strike on November 13th, coinciding with Red Cup Day, to protest alleged unfair labor practices and demand better contracts. Over a thousand workers, including union members, are expected to participate, citing Starbucks refusal to address key issues like staffing and pay since April. Starbucks, however, downplays the strikes significance, stating the union represents only a small percentage of their partners and has refused to bargain. The strike aims to restart negotiations and gain public support for a fair contract.
