Starbucks Workers At Denver Store Go On Strike

Since January, Starbucks workers at the store on East Colfax and Milwaukee in Denver have been trying to unionize.

“It’s been really fun to have everyone come together. It’s been really empowering but it’s also been really scary,” said employee Lillian Sanders.“We’ve had a lot of intimidation and a lot of efforts to stop us but we’re here,” said Lillian.

Many crossed the picket line. One customer shouted at them from the parking lot, “This is ridiculous.”“The bonding between our employees here has really been great,” said employee Mike Graham.“We’re looking for better hours, more consistent scheduling better just working conditions,” he said.
