Starbucks Workers Launch Escalating Strike Action
-------------------------------------------------

As the Amazon action picks up steam, unionized Starbucks workers have
launched five days of phased strikes, as the coffee giant has repeatedly
refused to bargain in good faith. Starbucks baristas in Los Angeles,
Chicago and Seattle are striking today, and the action will escalate
through Christmas Eve. Over 500 Starbucks stores nearly unanimously
voted to approve the strike.
