Do you love Starbucks Christmas drinks? You may not receive it this week.

Starbucks Workers United announced that baristas will strike starting Friday in three key markets – Seattle, Los Angeles and Chicago.

The union said the move was in response to the coffee chain’s “failure to bring viable economic proposals to the bargaining table” and “to resolve hundreds of outstanding allegations of unfair labor practices.”

The union, which began organizing in 2021, represents 525 union branches and over 10,500 union employees, according to its website. Starbucks has more than 10,000 company-operated locations.

“Since February, Starbucks has repeatedly stated publicly that they intend to close deals by the end of the year — but they have not yet presented a serious economic proposal to workers,” the group wrote on X. “This week, less than two weeks before the deadline At the end of the year, Starbucks proposed no immediate wage increase for unionized baristas and a guarantee of only 1.5% wage increases in future years.”

The group said baristas will begin five days of escalating strikes starting Friday morning that could spread to other cities by Christmas Eve “unless Starbucks adheres to our commitment to work toward a fundamental framework.”

Starbucks, headquartered in Seattle, told NBC News that there was “no significant impact” to store operations.

“We are aware of disruptions in a small handful of stores, but the vast majority of our U.S. stores remain open and serving customers as usual,” company spokesman Phil Gee said in a statement.

About 10 of the company-operated stores did not open as planned on Friday.

In a news release Tuesday, the union said it and Starbucks announced a path forward earlier this year and put dozens of tentative agreements on the table, but “Starbucks has yet to bring a comprehensive economic package to the negotiating table.”

“Starbucks cannot get back on track as a company until it enters into a fair contract that invests in its workforce. Right now I make $16.50 per hour. Meanwhile, Brian Niccol’s compensation package is $57,000 an hour,” Silvia Baldwin, a barista and bargaining delegate from Philadelphia, said in a statement, referring to the Starbucks CEO.

“The company just announced that I’m only getting a 2.5% raise next year, which is $0.40 an hour, which is hardly anything. It’s one Starbucks drink a week. “Starbucks needs to invest in the baristas who make Starbucks run,” she added.

A Starbucks spokesman said Workers United delegates “ended our round of negotiations early this week.”

Starbucks argued that it offers a “competitive average wage of over $18 per hour and top-notch benefits” such as health care, tuition, paid family leave and company stock grants.

“Workers United’s proposals call for an immediate 64% increase in the minimum wage for hourly associates and 77% over the life of a three-year contract. “This is not sustainable,” the company said.

Starbucks said it was willing to continue negotiations.

This came as the Teamsters union announced strikes at several Amazon delivery facilities on Thursday, amid holiday delivery rushes at their peak.
