BREAKING: Starbucks workers are on strike nationwide, demanding the company stop union-busting and negotiate a contract.
The strike was timed to “Founder’s Day,” a holiday invented by Starbucks to honor CEO Howard Schultz… who resigned early.
After 20 months of negotiations, enough is enough: Today, more than 1,000 @NYTimesGuild members pledged to walk out if @nytimes does not agree to a complete and fair contract by Dec. 8.
We’re asking readers to not engage in any @nytimes platforms tomorrow and stand with us on the digital picket line! Read local news. Listen to public radio. Make something from a cookbook. Break your Wordle streak.
