Starbucks baristas, assemble! Earlier this week, the Starbucks Workers United voted to go on strike. However, they did not announce the exact starting date until yesterday evening.
After a nationwide zoom meeting, the strike of the Starbucks baristas will begin this morning across the country. The strike is planned to end on Christmas Eve. This strike is beginning to look like a Christmas holiday vacation.
The main focus of the strikes will be in Washington where Starbucks HQ is located, California, and Illinois. Here are the strike lines scheduled for today.
California: 1190 W. Alameda Avenue, Suite G-2 in Burbank at 10 AM PT.
Illinois: 5964 N. Ridge Avenue in Chicago at 12 PM CT.
Washington: Pike Street Roastery, 1124 Pike Street in Seattle at 3 PM PT.
More and more baristas plan to strike each and every day from today until Christmas Eve. You can find out at this link provided by Starbucks Workers United if your favorite Starbucks store will be on strike over the next five days. Please have your backup plans ready.
