Thousands of Starbucks employees across more than 200 locations are
expected to walk off the job. Today, organizers
say it will be the largest strike yet during a
two year effort to unionize the company's stores. The
workers United Union picked Starbucks annual Red Cup Day for
the walk out since it's typically one of Starbucks busiest
days of the year. The union said it expects
more than 5000 workers to participate in the walkout.
About 30 stores staged walkouts yesterday, Starbucks has opposed
the unionization effort and has yet to reach an agreement
with any of the stores that voted to unionize.
