The walkout, nicknamed 'the red cup rebellion,' is to protest retaliation against union supporters and the company's refusal to bargain with the workers' union.
Nearly two thousand Starbucks employees in 25 states are staging a one-day strike Thursday.
Union leaders sent a mass email to media and union members with details of the strike, which it described as the "biggest coordinated national action taken by union Starbucks stores in the campaign's history." Meantime, the NLRB has filed a cease and desist order to bar Starbucks from retaliating against union supporters.
