Workers at multiple Starbucks locations across the country went on strike yesterday, walking out in protest of management's refusal to negotiate a fair union contract with @SBWorkersUnited. In some cases, the police were called and striking workers were arrested.

Chilean Starbucks workers continue their historic strike today after negotiations between their union and the company broke down this week.
