The walkouts are timed to coincide with Starbucks’ Red Cup Day, when the company gives free reusable cups to customers who order a holiday drink.
Workers at two more Starbucks coffee shops in L.A. have voted to unionize. Here’s what they say is motivating them.
Baldwin, who is on the store’s bargaining committee, is also frustrated that the union hasn’t been able to bargain with Starbucks. Striking on Starbucks’ busiest day felt inspiring and it will “be impossible to ignore,” she said. “It’s been almost a year since we told Starbucks that we are unionizing this location and we still have not been able to get them to agree to a time for contract negotiations,” Seattle barista Micah Lakes said. “We’re not going to work the day that is the most important for you if you’re not going to be willing to meet up with us and talk with us about what we need from the company.”
