Workers say they’re seeking better pay, more consistent schedules and higher staffing levels in busy stores.
Workers say it’s often one of the busiest days of the year. Starbucks declined to say how many red cups it plans to distribute.
“We remain committed to all partners and will continue to work together, side-by-side, to make Starbucks a company that works for everyone,” the company said Thursday in a statement. “It’s just not viable. It’s very stressful,” Ortiz said. “And a lot of people don’t really notice, like, the humans behind this assembly.”
At a store in Seattle less than three miles from Starbucks’ headquarters, workers said managers were making drinks while baristas picketed outside.
