Starbucks Workers United

Starbucks Workers United is a labor union organizing effort among Starbucks employees across the United States. The union aims to secure better wages, improved working conditions, and a fair contract for baristas. The organization is currently newsworthy due to an ongoing, open-ended strike involving hundreds of workers across the country, some joined by politicians. Recent developments include calls for customers to delete the Starbucks mobile app in solidarity with the striking workers' demands. The union has been coordinating the strike for almost three months as of December 2025. The union's actions highlight the ongoing tensions between Starbucks management and its employees regarding wages and working conditions, and it signifies a growing movement for labor rights within the service industry.
