The Red Cup Rebellion unfair labor practice (ULP) strike grew to over 3,800 baristas in 180+ stores across 130+ cities Thursday as the largest wave yet of union baristas walked off the job to protest Starbucks’ historic union busting and failure to finalize a fair union contract. The historic ULP strike is the largest nationwide work stoppage in the company’s history, with 36 new stores in 34 cities joining their coworkers already out on strike. Baristas’ ULP strike began on Red Cup Day, November 13 and has grown each week since.

When a group of renters at New Haven, Connecticut’s Sunset Ridge apartments gathered last month to announce they had formed a tenants union, they were interrupted by some uninvited guests. Since September, Sunset Ridge tenant organizers had been going door-to-door speaking with neighbors about their living conditions, including persistent mold that’s the likely culprit behind a spate of respiratory illnesses in the 312-unit building. With the help of the Connecticut Tenants Union (CTTU), a statewide union of renters, the group collected signatures from more than 160 residents — enough to file for certification with the city

Buena Park, CA — Usually, LEGO is associated with physically building things up, but in this case, workers are accusing the company of tearing down their chances of getting union representation. Employees at the Downtown Disney LEGO store are claiming that the company is using illegal union-busting tactics and violating their rights. United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 324, the union supporting LEGO Store workers’ unionization efforts in Downtown Disney, announced on Friday, Dec. 5, that it has filed an unfair labor practice charge against LEGO.

To Get On Offense, Offer Workers Many Ways In

December 9, 2025 Diamonte Brown, Labor Notes. Organize! Baltimore, Political Education, Teachers, Unions

To fight back against authoritarianism and the billionaire takeover, the labor movement must get on offense. We must have our own agenda, set by rank-and-file members, rooted in the issues that members care most about—issues that unite us and build power. Maybe our agenda includes a starting wage of no less than $30 an hour, expanding workers’ rights, and building union membership to a supermajority in our bargaining units. We can be fighting for a lot of things. But to fight for any of them, we need enough involved union members, armed with political education and trained on organizing skills, to increase our fighting capacity.

Thousands of Starbucks workers across a hundred cities are nearly one month into an expanding, nationwide unfair labor practice strike in protest of the coffee giant’s “historic union busting and failure to finalize a fair union contract,” according to Starbucks Workers United, the barista union that has spread to over 650 stores since its birth in Buffalo four years ago. The strike comes after years of illegal anti-union antics by Starbucks and follows a historic $39 million settlement announced on December 1 for more than 500,000 labor violations committed by Starbucks management in New York City since 2021.

Maybe A General Strike Isn’t So Impossible Now

Trump’s attacks on working people—threats to send troops into major U.S. cities, ripping collective bargaining rights from a million federal workers, an immigration enforcement terror campaign that borders on unconstitutional—have been so extreme that many people are talking about a general strike. These calls are coming not just from the usual suspects, but even from my own mayor, former Chicago Teachers Union leader and organizer Brandon Johnson. We’ve all heard calls for a general strike before—usually not as a serious proposal or strategy, but as a reaction to the attacks that working people face on a regular basis from existing political and economic power.

Politico and E&E News journalists announced a major victory in arbitration this week, successfully arguing that Politico management violated the workers’ collective bargaining agreement by unilaterally introducing two artificial intelligence tools for news coverage without providing notice or bargaining over their implementation. Per the workers’ union–the PEN Guild, part of the Washington-Baltimore NewsGuild-CWA–it’s one of the first major arbitration cases concerning AI practices in journalism, setting a powerful precedent.

The Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) became the fourth Canadian labour federation to adopt a hot cargo resolution against Israeli goods last week. The resolution has the OFL declare trade relationships and services with Israel to be “hot cargo” that workers will not touch. “Hot cargo” is used to define goods that workers will not handle due to its association with exploitation or oppression. The New Brunswick Federation of Labour was the first to adopt a resolution supporting the boycott of Israel when it passed a resolution against handling weapons bound for Israel in May. Since then, three other provincial federations of labour have taken similar actions in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Ontario.

Italy is on general strike for the third time in less than three months, following a call by the grassroots union Unione Sindacale di Base (USB). Pickets, industrial actions, and demonstrations were organized in over 40 cities, with massive rallies demanding an end to rearmament plans and the war budget shaped by Giorgia Meloni’s government. On Friday, workers stressed that their mobilization is tied both to worsening material conditions at home and to international events, specifically the struggle of the Palestinian people – whose fate, they insist, is inseparable from Europe’s expanding war economy.

The Starbucks workers’ union said on Friday it is escalating an indefinite strike to more than 120 stores and 85 cities, demanding higher pay and staffing levels at the coffee chain. The walkout, which is set to be the longest strike in the history of Starbucks, began on its Red Cup Day on November 13 with 65 stores and more than 40 cities. The strike comes on Black Friday, the busiest time of the year for retailers when shoppers hunt for bargains on everything from food and groceries to apparel and appliances. Workers also went on strike at Amazon warehouses in Germany on Black Friday, aiming to disrupt operations on a key sales day as they push for a collective bargaining agreement, with separate protests also planned outside Zara stores in Spain.

Last week Italy’s metal workers secured a major victory as the unions Fim, Fiom and Uilm, all affiliated to IndustriALL Global Union, signed the renewed National Collective Labour Agreement (NCLA) with Federmeccanica and Assistal after four days of continuous and intense negotiations. The agreement covers more than 1.5 million workers across the country and guarantees a €205(US$ 237.17) increase on minimum contractual salaries over four years, which the unions say is essential to protecting wages amid rising living costs and economic uncertainty.

Unionized Starbucks baristas rallied Monday outside the Newport-Beach office of the Seattle-based company’s chief executive to demand better pay, staffing and scheduling — continuing a “Red Cup Rebellion” unfair labor practice strike that includes stores in Orange County. Carrying picket signs that read “Now Brewing: Corporate Greed” and chanting, “No Contract, No Coffee” rallying workers accused the coffee retailer of refusing to respond to employees’ demands after an offer by company negotiators was rejected by bargaining delegates in April, according to a union news release Monday.
