The union says it expects the strike will shutter some stores entirely; at others, managers or other workers may keep the stores open.
More than 1,000 baristas at 100 stores are planning to walk out, according to Starbucks Workers United, the labor group organizing the effort. The strike will be the longest in the year-old unionization campaign.
This is the second major strike in a month by Starbucks’ U.S. workers. On Nov. 17, workers at 110 Starbucks stores held a one-day walkout. That effort coincided with Starbucks’ annual Red Cup Day, when the company gives reusable cups to customers who order a holiday drink. “We have had stores close and absorbed partners, which makes it harder to stretch the hours that we are allotted between brand new partners," said Dorris, who prefers to work 20-25 hours per week but lately has been scheduled to work 10.“The more of us who stand together, the more we send a message to Starbucks, and also each other, and even people who don’t work at Starbucks, that there are folks who aren’t going to tolerate being abused by their employer," Hoffman said.
