"They know our demands: more take-home pay, better hours, resolving legal issues. It's time to finalize a contract this fall before the all-important holiday season."
"Starbucks knows where we stand,"
"Workers United chose to walk away from the negotiations, not Starbucks,"
"If they're ready to come back, we're ready to talk."
Unionized Starbucks baristas will hold a national strike authorization vote from October 24 through November 2 that could lead to an open-ended strike. The vote aims to ratify the union's first contract and press demands for more take-home pay, better hours and resolution of legal issues before the holiday season. Seventy practice pickets and rallies are planned across 60 cities to encourage votes. A wave of store closures about a month earlier left thousands of baristas out of work amid a corporate turnaround. Starbucks says it remains committed to bargaining; contract talks collapsed in December. The union filed a complaint with the International Olympic Committee opposing Starbucks' 2028 partnership.
