‘Don’t Buy Starbucks!’ Says Union as It Launches Nationwide Strike Against Coffee Giant’s Unfair Labor Conditions

As hundreds of Starbucks workers go on strike across the US to protest the company’s unfair labor practices, its union is telling customers to boycott the company in hopes of pressuring it to return to the bargaining table to negotiate its first union contract.

“As of today, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE,” said Starbucks Workers United, the union representing nearly 10,000 baristas, on social media Thursday.
