-- Thursday was supposed to be a big day for Starbucks. It was the coffee giant's annual Red Cup Day, but many employees went to the picket line instead of going to work. , CBS2's Nick Caloway reported.
Members of the union went on strike outside more than 100 stores across the country. They called it the"Red Cup Rebellion.""We tend to have a lot of burnout because of the lack of staffing, and management generally doesn't care," said Cruz. Union members say the company refuses to do so, but Starbucks disputes that. A spokesperson told CBS2 the company respects the rights of workers to lawfully protest.
A Starbucks in Astoria, Queens was closed as a result of the strike. A store in Times Square also closed on what's usually a very busy day. On Red Cup Day, Starbucks hands out limited-edition reusable holiday cups.
