Will Starbucks staff strikes hit turnaround plans?

Starbucks faces potential disruption from staff strikes as baristas demand better pay and increased staffing in the midst of the company's turnaround efforts. The strike, led by the union Starbucks Workers United, could affect stores in 25 cities, posing a challenge as Starbucks navigates labor tensions and consumer demands. Despite sales growth and strategic changes under new CEO Brian Niccol, the chain continues to grapple with labor issues that may impact its brand image and ongoing efforts to improve operations and customer experience.
