Starbucks workers strike on Red Cup Day
Digest more
Starbucks Workers United said its strike may extend past Nov. 13 if the coffeehouse chain continues to ignore their demands.
Dozens of workers and supporters gathered outside closed Starbucks Reserve Roastery on Pike Street, chanting in the drizzly rain and waving picket signs as Mayor-Elect Katie Wilson took to the stage.
Starbucks Workers United is calling the strike the "red cup rebellion," since the strike coincides with the coffee chain's annual Red Cup Day promotion.
