Starbucks Workers Going On Strike

Author Chris Allen

According to TulsaWorld.com, Starbucks workers around the U.S. are planning a three-day strike starting Friday. It’s part of their effort to unionize the coffee chain’s stores.

More than 1,000 baristas at 100 stores are planning to walk out, according to Starbucks Workers United, the labor group organizing the effort. The strike will be the longest in the year-old unionization campaign.

This isn’t new. It is the second major strike in a month by Starbucks’ U.S. workers. On Nov. 17, workers at 110 Starbucks stores held a strike for one day. It was the same day as Starbucks’ annual Red Cup Day when the company gives reusable cups to customers who order a holiday drink.

More than 264 of Starbucks’ 9,000 company-run U.S. stores have voted to unionize since late last year. Might have to wait a bit if you want your 8-dollar coffee today.

Also on the list are some great spots in South Carolina that you might want to try as well. Of course, we have brought you a few of those spots so that you can find them easier.
