About 100 Starbucks stores across America will be on strike for the next three days, as the union attempts to turn up the pressure in it year-long battle with the coffee retailer

This is the second widespread strike by Starbucks Workers United, which staged a one-day strike in November on the day that Starbucks had it “red cup day” promotion, giving away reusable holiday cups. The union said it has so far won votes at 270 Starbucks stores.

“They’re doubling down on their union-busting, so we’re doubling down, too,” said Michelle Eisen, a barista from the Buffalo store that was the first to vote for the union a year ago. “We’re demanding fair staffing, an end to store closures, and that Starbucks bargain with us in good faith.” Starbucks did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In the past it has defended store closings as being done in the name of employee safety.
