The ongoing strike by Starbucks workers is poised to escalate significantly, with plans to extend to over 300 locations across the United States on Christmas Eve. The labor action commenced on Friday, fueled by a range of grievances primarily centered around inadequate pay and unresolved labor disputes that have been a point of contention for employees.
Union representatives have voiced their concerns, emphasizing the need for fair compensation and better working conditions.
