Starbucks strike expands to Boston and other cities, closing nearly 60 U.S. stores
Briefly

Starbucks Workers United claims the company has failed to honor its commitment made in February to finalize a labor agreement this year, further escalating discontent among workers.
In response to the strikes, Starbucks stated they had 'no significant impact' on operations, despite 59 stores being closed, indicating their resilience during high-demand periods.
The union has expressed concerns regarding outstanding legal issues, including hundreds of unfair labor practice charges filed with the National Labor Relations Board since the union's inception in 2021.
Starbucks has proposed a 1.5% annual pay increase for unionized workers, aiming to assure them of a minimum wage increase, though negotiations have reached an impasse.
