Starbucks baristas, students, elected officials and allies are holding rallies at over 40 college campuses across the US on Thursday to support the Starbucks Workers United boycott campaign as the union nears five years of deadlock with the company over contract negotiations.
Starbucks Workers United is seeking better pay and stronger staffing levels, including a $17 an hour minimum wage for baristas and a minimum staffing of three workers per store. It has called on the public to boycott Starbucks until its first contract is reached.
