(WDNews) — Thousands of Starbucks employees are walking off the job Tuesday, marking the culmination of a five-day strike during the coffee chain’s busy holiday season.
According to Starbucks Workers United, approximately 5,000 baristas from 300 stores across more than 25 states, including Maryland, Montana, and California, are participating in the work stoppage.
The strike is designed to put pressure on Starbucks during a critical time of year, as employees push for improved working conditions and other demands. This holiday walkout represents the largest coordinated effort by Starbucks Workers United to date.
