Starbucks union authorizes a potential strike ahead of talks

Workers United, which has a bargaining delegation that represents workers at 525 Starbucks stores in the U.S., said the coffee giant has yet to bring a comprehensive economic package to the table.

The workers’ union representing more than 10,000 Starbucks baristas said they have authorized a potential strike, ahead of this year’s final round of bargaining talks with the coffee giant on Tuesday.
