Starbucks workers hold strike vote amid anger over pay and conditions

I'm super concerned about this whole situation 🤕. The fact that Starbucks baristas are struggling to make ends meet on hourly wages below $16 an hour is just heartbreaking 😔. It's not like they're asking for the moon, just a fair living wage and some dignity in their work. The union's claims of bad faith bargaining seem legit, and if the company is indeed stonewalling negotiations, that's a major red flag 🚨.

I also think it's interesting how the Back to Starbucks campaign has sparked controversy among workers 🤝. It's like, yeah, we get it, you're trying to transform the company, but don't ignore our concerns in the process 💡. The fact that labor experts are warning about the need for enforceable contracts is super important ⚖️.

What I'd love to see is some serious negotiating and a willingness from Starbucks to listen to its workers' demands 🗣️. This strike vote could be a game-changer, not just for these baristas but for all workers nationwide who are fighting for fairness and justice in the gig economy 💪.
