Over 1,000 Starbucks baristas across 75 US stores are striking, protesting a new company dress code that restricts clothing choices to solid black shirts and specific bottoms. The union, Starbucks Workers United, argues the dress code should be subject to collective bargaining, citing the new rules as an example of the company's disregard for employee input. Starbucks claims the limited impact on operations and urges the union to return to contract negotiations. The union has filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board.
