Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Starbucks Strikes Expands to Three More Cities

HeadlineDec 24, 2024

In other labor news, the Starbucks strike has expanded to stores in Boston, Dallas, and Portland, Oregon. As of Monday afternoon, the Starbucks strike had closed 59 stores across the country. Naomi Martinez is a striking Starbucks worker in Burbank, California.

Naomi Martinez: “Starbucks workers are on strike today here in L.A. and the surrounding area, protesting against the outstanding unfair labor practice violations that the company has still failed to settle with our union. Additionally, our path forward that we forged with the company in February has been violated by the company for a few months now, and we will no longer accept poor bargaining and bad-faith bargaining.”
