I want Starbucks to succeed. My livelihood depends on it, said Dachi Spoltore, a striking barista from Pittsburgh. I know that Starbucks' success has to include and prioritize people like me who make the coffee, open the stores and keep the customers coming back. We're proud of our work, but we're tired of being treated like we're disposable. That's why we're taking this major step.

This served as an opportunity for each side to lay out diverging views of the game's economics. It is widely expected that the sides will not be able to line up on a new deal before the expiration of the current CBA on December 1, 2026.
