- Unionized Starbucks employees plan to strike on November 13, coinciding with the company’s annual Red Cup Day, unless a contract is finalized.

- Contract talks since April 2024 have stalled amid demands for higher wages and more flexible hours from the union.
- Starbucks claims to offer the best pay and benefits in retail, while union members argue that current compensation fails to meet their needs.
Our fight is about actually making Starbucks jobs the best jobs in retail.— Jasmine Leli, a Starbucks barista from Buffalo, New York, explains the goals of the strike.
