If you had trouble getting your Starbucks fix on one of the company's busiest day of the year, here's why...

SALT LAKE CITY — Those looking to get their Starbucks coffee fix along with a holiday red cup Thursday may not have been successful as employees in Salt Lake City took part in a nationwide, one-day strike.

Stores in 25 states planned to take part in the labor action, according to Starbucks Workers United, the group organizing the effort. Strikers are handing out their own red cups with union logos. Current organizers have hope as they say they are already seeing evidence their union is working, starting with customers being able to add credit card tips to their transactions.

"This is the first nationwide strike that's coordinated 111 stores," said Grob."We can shut things down like we did today if they're not willing to hold up they're end of the pot."
