Starbucks said it doesn&#8217;t expect a disruption at the &#8220;vast majority&#8221; of its stores.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The open-ended strike will start with more than 65 stores in over 40 cities across the country, the union said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If Starbucks keeps stonewalling a fair contract and refusing to end union-busting, they&#8217;ll see their business grind to a halt,&#8221; said Michelle Eisen, Starbucks Workers United spokesperson and 15-year barista. &#8220;No contract, no coffee is more than a tagline\u2014it&#8217;s a pledge to interrupt Starbucks operations and profits until a fair union contract and an end to unfair labor practices are won.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/starbucks-ceo-brian-niccol-turnaround-value-menu-coffee-prices\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol<\/a><\/span> told &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OBTIo9apjx4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CBS Mornings<\/a>&#8221; last month that the company has &#8220;the best benefits&#8221; and &#8220;the best wages&#8221; in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What their requests to date have been, has been unreasonable,&#8221; Niccol said. &#8220;We&#8217;re willing to, you know, negotiate and have &#8217;em come back to the table and find a solution.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The union announced last week that its members voted to authorize a strike after no contract agreement, with thousands weighing in and an overwhelming majority \u2014 92% \u2014 voting in favor, according to the labor group.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Starbucks spokesperson Jaci Anderson previously told CBS News the company is disappointed that the union voted to authorize a strike instead of coming to the bargaining table. &#8220;When they&#8217;re ready to come back, we&#8217;re ready to talk,&#8221; she said in a statement last month.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Contract talks between Starbucks and Workers United began in April 2024 but fell apart in December.
