Starbucks is shutting down the first store to unionize in Seattle

Recently, more than 2,000 workers at 112 Starbucks locations across the United States joined the first nationwide strike that lasted one day, in a year-long attempt at unionization.

The coffee company owns roughly 9,000 locations in the United States with over 70,000 employees.

The Starbucks employees walked off the job on Nov. 17, hoping to shut down shops as they protested the coffee chain’s approach to union contract negotiations, at the start of its profitable holiday season.

Striking workers called the walkout the “Red Cup Rebellion,” which spread across 25 states, covering 112 stores in cities like Seattle, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Eugene, and Ann Arbor.

MorePerfectUnion have said on Nov 21 that Starbucks is shutting down the first store to unionize in Seattle.

The Broadway & Denny store is the fourth unionized store to be shut down in Starbucks' home town.

Starbucks is citing safety issues after refusing to provide any security.
