Red Cup Rebellion: Starbucks workers at hundreds of locations stage strike, walkout

Members of the Starbucks Workers United are demanding improved staffing and fair labor practices

Thousands of workers at more than 200 Starbucks locations nationwide went on strike Thursday in what organizers describe is the largest-ever strike in Starbucks history. Dubbed the “Red Cup Rebellion,” the day-long walkout took place on the company’s “Red Cup Day” promotion, which is one of the most infamously understaffed days for Starbucks baristas.  



Starbucks Workers United said workers at the multinational coffee chain are demanding improved staffing and fair labor practices. The union added that it was expecting more than 5,000 workers to participate in the strike, according to the Associated Press. Around 30 stores also staged walkouts on Wednesday.

Nearly two years after the union won its first representation vote at a New York-based Starbucks store, it has won more votes at 368 company-operated stores in more than 41 states. Starbucks, however, has yet to reach a collective bargaining agreement with any of the stores that have voted to unionize.

“We remain committed to working with all partners, side-by-side, to elevate the everyday, and we hope that Workers United’s priorities will shift to include the shared success of our partners and negotiating contracts for those they represent,” Starbucks said in a statement obtained by the Associated Press.

Last month, Starbucks’ relations with Workers United grew more tense after the company sued the union over a pro-Palestine post made on the union’s social media account. Starbucks claimed the post angered several of its loyal customers and damaged its reputation. Workers United, in turn, filed its own lawsuit, saying Starbucks defamed the union by suggesting that it supports terrorism and violence.

  A place for working class Whites to discuss the op thoughtfully. ‘The mood has turned darker’: Desperate to outrun inflation, people are changing their shopping habits. You can, too. Story by Andrew Keshner • Oct 17, 2022 We never were the same after last summer. Stubbornly high inflation rates in recent months and several interest-rate hikes by the Federal Reserve are impacting consumer behavior. That’s according to company earnings reports, market-data analytics and consumer surveys. Rattled by the rise in the cost of living in recent months, millions of people have already been taking action to conserve their cash, according to a recent McKinsey & Co. report that explored the ways people are trading down. “Whether it’s at gas pumps or in grocery stores, people across the United States have been feeling a pinch in their pocketbooks this summer,” it said. “Inflation is the highest it’s been in decades, and consumers are worried and jittery .” Sales at retailers fel...

Poll shows hiring managers discriminating against white men Opinion by Christopher Tremoglie • Nov 11, 2022 It must be all that white privilege going around the country, but a recent survey showed that 1 in 6 hiring managers was asked not to hire white males. That's the discriminatory behavior implemented in companies throughout the country, according to data from ResumeBuilder. It's obviously discriminatory and violates federal laws, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. However, such a report won't receive widespread media scrutiny or the attention of politicians because, well, it is white males who are being discriminated against. Racism, discrimination, and prejudice are permitted, and sometimes even actively encouraged, when it involves white males. The Left has created a culture that vilifies white people, and it was only a matter of time before the ideology spilled over into corporate America. Corporations don't even try to hide their anti-white big...
