Starbucks Workers United Launch Nationwide Strike, Blame Stalled Negotiations on New CEOStarbucks employees, represented by Workers United, have initiated a nationwide strike, marking potentially the largest and longest in the companys history. The strike, now in its fourth day, has resulted in store closures across the US, including several in Seattle. Both parties blame each other for the stalled contract negotiations, which have been inactive since April. The dispute revolves around wages, working hours, scheduling, and employment conditions. Union workers claim progress was undone when Brian Niccol became CEO in September 2024, while Starbucks asserts the union walked away from negotiations. The union, determined to meet their demands, has declared No contract, no coffee, indicating their resolve to continue striking.
