Nationwide Starbucks Worker Strike Protests Union-Busting.
Starbucks workers at over 100 stores in the US walked out ahead of the company's annual shareholder meeting to protest against the company's anti-union efforts, including allegations of firing workers in retaliation for union organizing, intimidation, store closures, withholding benefits, schedule cuts, and delays in bargaining a first union contract. The workers are asking shareholders to vote to approve a resolution for a third-party assessment of the company's commitment to workers' rights.
