CHICAGO: Some members of the Starbucks workers’ union that represents more than 10,000 baristas walked off their jobs in multiple United States cities last Friday, citing unresolved issues over wages, staffing and schedules.
The five-day strike, which began on Dec 20 and closed Starbucks cafes in Los Angeles, Chicago and Seattle will expand to Columbus, Denver, and Pittsburgh through Saturday, the union said in a statement.
