The union representing over 10,000 Starbucks baristas has announced a five-day strike in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Seattle due to unresolved wage, staffing, and schedule issues. This action is part of a broader wave of labor movements across service industries. The union has stated that the strikes could expand to hundreds of stores nationwide by Christmas Eve, while Starbucks claims to be willing to negotiate and has held multiple bargaining sessions since April.
