During the strike period, the walkouts "are expected to spread each day and ultimately reach hundreds of stores from coast to coast by Christmas Eve" unless the company honors a February commitment made with the union. "We are ready to continue negotiations to reach agreements," Starbucks said, adding, "We need the union to return to the table."
