Workers United, representing over 10,000 baristas, has authorized a potential strike due to Starbucks' failure to present a comprehensive economic package and resolve ongoing legal disputes.
Starbucks expressed disappointment over the union's strike authorization, stating its commitment to establishing a framework agreement despite ongoing negotiations that have reportedly reached 30 agreements on various topics.
Starbucks recently increased paid parental leave significantly, from 6 to 18 weeks, while undergoing a transformation effort under new CEO Brian Niccol to enhance the overall coffee house experience.
Negotiations have been ongoing since April and are aimed at establishing a foundational framework for collective bargaining, also addressing pending legal issues related to unfair labor practices.
