Episode Details

Starbucks baristas are launching a nationwide boycott to demand a union contract, pushing for $17 minimum wage, better hours, and protection from retaliation — after years of stalled negotiations and accusations of anti-union tactics. With over 11,000 workers across 700+ locations backing Starbucks Workers United, the strike isn’t just about coffee — it’s a bold labor movement aiming to inspire workers everywhere. While Starbucks defends its pay and benefits, critics point to millions spent on anti-union ads and CEO pay that contrasts sharply with frontline struggles. Public support, especially among younger voters, is swelling — making this fight a potential turning point for worker power in America.
