Starbucks Workers United emphasized the need for the strike due to stalled negotiations for a first contract, hoping to leverage the busy holiday season to gain leverage.
Kai Krawczeniuk expressed frustration over Starbucks's economic proposal, stating that the offer was "insulting" and prompting them to take action to show they mean business.
The union aims to pressure Starbucks for a more substantial wage proposal while addressing unresolved unfair labor practices that have been filed by workers.
Starbucks acknowledged disruptions but claimed around 10 stores of its 10,000 locations were impacted, suggesting the strike's effect was not as widespread as some anticipated.
