Mayor-elect Mamdani backs the strike by roughly 1,000 unionized Starbucks baristas at 65 stores nationwide, urging a boycott to support demands for better wages and staffing.
- New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani urged followers to avoid Starbucks while baristas strike, writing, `Starbucks workers across the country are on an Unfair Labor Practices strike, fighting for a fair contract`.

- Roughly 1,000 workers across 65 stores began striking Thursday while Workers United represents over 12,000 baristas at 600 locations and unionized stores cover roughly 9,500 workers, about 4% of the labor force.

- Mamdani's public support suggests how he may use his mayoral office after his Nov. 4 election, as the strike follows Starbucks restructuring that closed more than 600 stores.
