Baltimore-area baristas among workers at more than 100 Starbucks locations who walk out on “Red Cup Day”

Baltimore-area baristas joined workers from more than 100 Starbucks locations across the U.S. on Thursday in a “Red Cup Day” walkout to protest low wages and poor working conditions and to pressure the coffee giant to negotiate with newly formed unions. The one-day strike, which included Starbucks workers in Baltimore and White Marsh, marked the largest labor action since a campaign to unionize the company’s stores started late last year.
