Iowa City Starbucks workers have staged a strike to protest what they call "paltry" wage increases while the company rewards its top executive with a nine-figure compensation package. Dubbed "The Strike Before Christmas," the job action took place on Christmas Eve.

According to Starbucks Workers United, nearly 300 Starbucks stores nationwide were impacted by this strike across 47 states. The post Starbucks workers around the nation go on strike on Christmas Eve appeared first on The Manual.
