Starbucks workers around the U.S., including some in Southern California, launched a planned three-day strike as part of their effort to unionize the coffee chain's stores.

More than 1,000 baristas at 100 stores are planned to walk out, according to Starbucks Workers United, the labor group organizing the effort. The strike will be the longest in the year-old unionization campaign.

A Starbucks store in Highland Park was among those closed Friday morning due to the strike. Workers picketed in front of the store, chanting "No contract, no coffee."Starbucks, which opposes the unionization effort, said Friday that the strike was having a limited impact on its stores and most remained open.

"We want consistent scheduling," said Veronica Gonzalez, a Starbucks supervisor who picketed in Highland Park on Friday. "As of now, Starbucks is constantly under-scheduling at stores that are union, non-union. At least we have the power to strike." Workers United noted that Starbucks recently closed the first store to unionize in Seattle, the company's hometown. Starbucks has said the store was closed for safety reasons.

If these Starbucks managers had any guts they would fire every one of those employees who walked off the job. Unfortunately, I’m sure they’re gutless. In fact I’m willing to bet the management encouraged them to do so.

Unions are for real, hard working trades like electricians, iron workers, dock workers… not for pouring hot water over ground coffee beans while crying about a 8 hour shift…hopefully local shops will benefit from this

Who cares

One will notice. Stopped going there when they stopped serving police officers.

Oh Boy…Just wait till start paying into those unions and seeing nothing in return

Striking on 7th and Redondo in Long Beach!! ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
