Starbucks baristas to strike in US, union says

Quick Summary:

It follows calls from the Workers United union for higher pay and better conditions for Starbucks baristas.

The world's biggest coffee shop chain has seen flagging sales as it grappled with a backlash to price increases and boycotts sparked by the Israel-Gaza war.

The Teamsters union said Amazon delivery drivers at seven facilities in the US had walked off the job on Thursday, after the company refused to negotiate with the union about a labour contract.
