Starbucks workers at more than 100 U.S. stores say they're going on strike Thursday
in what would be the largest labor action since a campaign to unionize the company’s stores began late last year.
Workers say they're seeking better pay, more consistent schedules and higher staffing levels in busy stores. Starbucks opposes the unionization effort, saying the company functions best when it works directly with employees. The Seattle coffee giant has more than 9,000 company-owned stores in the U.S.
Willow Montana, a shift manager at a Starbucks store in Brighton, Massachusetts, planned to strike because Starbucks hasn’t begun bargaining with the store despite a successful union vote in April. Others, including Michelle Eisen, a union organizer at one of the first stores to organize in Buffalo, New York, said workers are angry that Starbucks promisedto non-union stores. Starbucks says it is following the law and can't give union stores pay hikes without bargaining.
