The walkouts coincide with Starbucks' annual Red Cup Day, when the company gives free reusable cups to customers who order a holiday drink. It's typically one of their busiest days of the year.

Hundreds of Starbucks workers across the country went on strike Thursday, demanding better pay and more consistent schedules.

Workers say they're seeking better pay, more consistent schedules and higher staffing levels in busy stores. The Seattle company noted that the protests are happening at a small number of its 9,000 company-run U.S. locations. The process has been contentious. Earlier this week, a regional director with the NLRB filed a request for an injunction against Starbucks in federal court, saying the company violated labor law when it fired a union organizer in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
