Starbucks workers have expanded their strike to four more US cities, including New York, the union representing more than 10,000 baristas said yesterday.
The five-day strike, which began on Friday and initially closed Starbucks cafes in Los Angeles, Chicago and Seattle, has added New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia and St Louis, Workers United said in a statement.
Talks between the coffee chain and the union hit an impasse with unresolved issues over wages, staffing and schedules, leading to the strike.
The union is striking in 10 cities, also including Columbus, Denver and Pittsburgh, during the busy holiday season that may impact the company’s Christmas sales.
Workers United warned on Friday that the strike could reach “hundreds of stores” by Tuesday, Christmas Eve.
