REUTERS/Carlo Allegri/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsCompanies Starbucks Corp FollowNov 13 (Reuters) - The Workers United union said on Monday that thousands of employees at hundreds of Starbucks (SBUX.O) stores will walk out on the coffee chain's key Red Cup day promotional event this week, citing staffing and scheduling issues. Starbucks hands out free reusable holiday-themed cups with coffee purchases on the popular promotional event Red Cup day, which falls on Thursday this week, in the midst of the key holiday season. The Workers United in a statement said that Red Cup day is "one of the most infamously hard, understaffed days for the baristas" at Starbucks, and called on baristas and supervisors at all Starbucks stores to walk out on Nov. 16. The union had called for protests at more than 100 Starbucks stores at Red Cup day last year. Workers United represents more than 360 unionized stores and more than 9,000 Starbucks employees, according to the union's website.

Starbucks is suing for trademark infringement, demanding that Workers United stop using the name Starbucks Workers United for the branch that is organizing the coffee company's workers. But posts and retweets from local Starbucks Workers United branches supporting Palestinians and condemning Israel were still visible on X Wednesday. Seattle-based Starbucks filed its lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa, noting that Iowa City Starbucks Workers United was among those posting pro-Palestinian messages. In a letter sent to Workers United on Oct. 13, Starbucks demanded that the union stop using its name and similar logo. In its response, Workers United said Starbucks Workers United’s page on X clearly identifies it as a union.
