Key Facts

SBW called a strike last Thursday, November 13, to coincide with the company’s ever-popular “Red Cup Day,” when it gives away free reusable red cups to kick off the holiday season.

Despite picket lines and widespread media coverage, Starbucks reported this year’s “Red Cup Day” was its biggest sales day ever in North America.

Last week’s “Red Cup Day” foot traffic surged 45% over the year’s daily average and was 3% higher than on “Red Cup Day” in 2024 and up 8% from 2023, according to Placer.ai.

Initially, over 60 of Starbucks’ 10,000+ company-owned stores were targeted for protests, disrupting service at only 49 stores.

Since then, 29 stores have reopened and many workers who initially went on strike have returned to work, according to Starbucks.

In escalating strike action, SWU reports that 2,000 union baristas are now on strike and five other Starbucks stores have filed for union elections.

Starbucks Workers United Contract Demands

Positioned as an unfair labor practice strike, the Starbucks Workers United claims it has been negotiating for more than 18 months to finalize a contract covering 9,500 unionized baristas in 550 stores. SWU is demanding that Starbucks provide baristas better hours to improve in-store staffing and grant higher take-home pay – in most states, baristas’ starting pay is $15.25 per hour, though the company claims it amounts to some $30 per hour in pay and benefits for baristas working 20 hours or more per week. The union also demands the company resolve some 650 outstanding ULP charges, including over 100 filed since January 2025. Amid accusations of union busting, the ULP charges relate to bad faith bargaining, retaliatory firings and discipline and unilateral policy changes, such as a new dress code policy that requires baristas to wear solid black tops and black, khaki, or blue denim bottoms to contrast with their Starbucks’ green aprons.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…
