Unionized baristas continue a nationwide walkout, while MSP workers plan a November 24 strike over wages and health costs
Unionized Starbucks employees are on an ongoing nationwide strike, with no negotiations scheduled between Starbucks Workers United and the company. The open-ended walkout began last Thursday on the chain’s “Red Cup” promotional day, and the union says more than a thousand baristas have joined under the banner of a “Red Cup Rebellion.” The action includes several Boulder-area stores, and 26 U.S. senators, including John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet, urged CEO Brian Niccol to reach a contract agreement.
In Minnesota, more than 200 food workers at Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport, represented by Unite Here Local 17, set a November 24 strike deadline in negotiations with HMSHost over wages and health insurance costs. In Massachusetts, Harvard custodians launched a two-day strike, their first in at least 50 years, represented by SEIU 32BJ. In Oregon, roughly 700 New Seasons grocery workers said they could walk out days before Christmas if no deal is reached. Taken together, these actions show increased labor activity across U.S. food and service workplaces heading into the holiday season.
Several U.S. service-sector actions coincide with peak demand periods—“Red Cup” day, Thanksgiving travel, and pre‑Christmas—potentially increasing unions’ bargaining leverage.
