Starbucks plans to close ‘many more’ stores

July 19, 2022

Starbucks, which said it was closing 16 stores over safety concerns, is not done. That’s according to a leaked video in which interim CEO Howard Schultz says, “This is just the beginning. There are going to be many more.” Union organizers have said that Starbucks is targeting pro-union stores in its closure plan. “Every decision Starbucks makes must be viewed through the lens of the company’s unprecedented and virulent union-busting campaign,” said Starbucks Workers United.
