Striking Starbucks workers urge customers to delete coffee chain’s app
AI Summary
Striking Starbucks baristas, represented by Starbucks Workers United, are urging customers to delete the Starbucks mobile app in solidarity with their demand for a first union contract. The union, which represents about 11,000 baristas at 576 US stores, has been coordinating an unfair labor practice strike since November 13, 2023, advocating for livable wages, stable hours, and an end to union busting. While scaling back the scope of the strike in December, roughly 1,000 baristas across nearly 50 stores remain on strike. The "Delete the App" campaign aims to pressure Starbucks into negotiating a fair contract, with baristas suggesting customers reload the app and use gift cards only after a contract is secured. The AFL-CIO president voiced support for the baristas in their fight with Starbucks.
