More than 100 lawmakers are urging Starbucks to resume bargaining talks with Workers United, with a strike looming in 25 cities on Red Cup Day. Senators and the Congressional Labor Caucus argue Starbucks has the resources to increase worker pay and benefits, pointing to CEO Brian Niccol’s $95 million compensation.

Workers United won a 92% strike authorization vote, pushing for improved hours, higher wages, and resolution of labor practice charges. Starbucks and the union are not in active contract talks after discussions fell apart last year. Workers United represents over 12,000 workers, while Starbucks claims the union only represents 9,500 workers.

Starbucks responded to the strike vote by saying they are ready to serve customers across their stores this holiday season. The company believes an agreement can be reached swiftly and is open to negotiations with Workers United. Both sides believe they can quickly reach a reasonable deal and move forward.
