The Red Cup Rebellion Grows
Nationwide – The Red Cup Rebellion continues to expand on Thursday, day 22 of the longest unfair labor practice (ULP) strike in the coffee giant’s history. With the addition of hundreds of union Starbucks baristas from 26 new stores joining the picket lines, 3,000 baristas from 145+ stores across 105+ cities are now engaged in the open-ended ULP strike. Baristas’ ULP strike began on Red Cup Day, November 13 and has grown each week since as they protest Starbucks’ historic union busting and failure to finalize a fair union contract.
