Striking Barista On Starbucks’ Endgame

On November 13, I was one of hundreds of Starbucks baristas who walked out of our stores on an open-ended unfair labor practice strike. Last week, our numbers grew to more than 3,800 workers participating across some 130 cities as we marked a month on strike, the longest national work stoppage in Starbucks’ history.

Striking members of our union, Starbucks Workers United, have staged a sit-in outside the Empire State Building; held demonstrations outside of the company’s corporate offices in Newport Beach, Calif., and even picketed at a distribution center in York, Pa., —all to demand that Starbucks settle a fair contract with us, four years after baristas in Buffalo, New York, began a rebellion that soon spread nationwide.
