Starbucks Baristas Launch Nationwide Strike

Starbucks Workers United kicked off an open-ended strike across more than 40 cities on Red Cup Day, one of the company’s biggest annual promotional events. The union says over 1,000 baristas from 65+ stores walked out after contract talks with Starbucks collapsed, putting pressure on the chain during a critical holiday sales period. Workers are demanding better hours, higher pay, and resolution of hundreds of unfair labor practice claims, arguing Starbucks has stalled negotiations despite mediation efforts earlier this year. Starbucks maintains it’s willing to return to the bargaining table, emphasizing that most stores remain open and stating that unionized workers represent only a small percentage of its workforce. As tensions escalate, the union warns this could become the largest and longest strike in Starbucks history if a fair contract isn’t reached.
Disney–YouTube TV Blackout Enters Longest Stretch Yet

The Disney and YouTube TV standoff has reached day 14, making it the longest Disney blackout ever and surpassing last year’s 13-day DirecTV dispute. Both sides have made significant progress toward a deal, with talks reportedly continuing late into the night, but the blackout is still costing Disney an estimated 30 million dollars each week. The fight centers on issues like Disney’s Monday Night Football simulcasts, how Disney’s streaming content should appear inside YouTube TV, and the fallout from a key executive leaving Disney for YouTube TV earlier this year. Regulators are urging both sides to resolve the dispute, and insiders say an agreement is closer than at any time in the past two weeks.
