Workers at an Avondale Starbucks, on 107th Avenue and Indian School Road, said they will be joining the 100 stores going on a three-day strike.
Starbucks workers at more than 100 U.S. stores are on strike Thursday Starbucks workers around the U.S. were planning a three-day strike starting Friday as part of their effort to unionize the coffee chain's stores.
The union says it expects the strike will shutter some stores entirely; at others, managers or other workers may keep the stores open.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.
Tori Tambellini, a former Starbucks shift supervisor and union organizer who was fired in July, said she will be picketing in Pittsburgh this weekend. Tambellini said workers are protesting understaffed stores, poor management and what she calls Starbucks’ “scorched earth method of union busting,” including closing stores that have unionized.
