Can't Stand the Goods Shortage Anymore... Starbucks Employees May Take Truck Protest to the Streets

Excessive Workload... Truck Protest Announced

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] Starbucks employees have announced a truck protest, citing excessive work burdens.

According to the industry on the 4th, some Starbucks employees (partners) announced through the anonymous application Blind that they will start a truck protest from the 6th. Employees are currently gathering opinions in this community. This is the first time that Starbucks employees, where there is no labor union, have taken collective action. Employees are considering attaching banners with demands such as improved treatment to trucks and driving around the streets for 2 to 3 days.

The reusable cup giveaway event held on the 28th of last month was the trigger for this situation. On that day, Starbucks held an event where drinks were served in reusable cups when ordered. Long lines formed early in the morning at major Starbucks stores.

Starbucks has frequently held events providing goods, during which customers have crowded excessively each time. It is known that complaints about being overworked have erupted among employees due to this.
