Getting your Starbucks’ red cup today could mean crossing a picket line
Starbucks workers are planning demonstrations today at 100 of the coffee chain's stores to coincide with the company's annual red cup giveaway.Starbucks Corp. baristas seeking union contracts with the coffee chain plan to mount daylong strikes Thursday at more than 100 cafes, saying management has refused to bargain in good faith.
The union says Starbucks has refused to negotiate in good faith, and that not a single store has reached a collective bargaining agreement with the company. While Workers United has prevailed in organizing votes across the country since its first victory in Buffalo, New York, the pace of new petitions has slowed.
Starbucks has denied the union’s claims that it’s not bargaining fairly, and has filed claims with the National Labor Relations Board accusing Workers United of refusing to negotiate in good faith. Regional NLRB directors have issued dozens of complaints accusing Seattle-based Starbucks of illegal tactics, including anti-union threats and firings. The company has denied wrongdoing.
