The Starbucks corporation refused to budge on economic issues brought forth by the union’s bargaining committee for several months, leading to the union’s strike sanction vote on December 17th, 2024. The vote passed with a landslide 98% in favor of sanctioning the strike. 

From December 20th to Christmas Eve, Starbucks Workers United held a strike in several locations across the US, including the special reserve roastery in Seattle, WA. 

Despite a long-term bargaining process, Starbucks has yet to meaningfully propose a concrete tentative agreement with the union. SBWU accuses Starbucks of deliberately delaying the negotiation process alongside committing copious amounts of unfair labor practices as well as union busting.
