NYC Mayor Declares 'No Coffee Till Contracts Signed!'

KEY POINTS

•On November 21, 2025, Starbucks baristas began an open-ended strike amid stalled contract talks.
•NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani urged the public to boycott Starbucks during the labor dispute.
•Starbucks union reported about 1,000 workers at 65 stores striking, potentially expanding to 500 stores.
•The strike comes during the holiday Red Cup Day, usually a record sales event for Starbucks.

On November 21, 2025, NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani stepped up from state assemblyman to caffeine crusader by urging everyone to boycott Starbucks during a nationwide strike involving roughly 1,000 baristas from 65 stores—just as the chain’s money-printing holiday Red Cup Day rolled in. Starbucks union claims stalled contracts and unfair labor practices, while corporate flexed ‘99% stores still open’ like a cocky espresso shot. CEO Brian Niccol, only four months in the job, now faces his third strike since September 2024—talk about hitting the ground brewing hot. As NYC’s newest socialist sniper, Mamdani’s ‘No contract, no coffee’ has become the city’s new motto, backed by Elizabeth Warren and FTC’s Lina Khan high-fiving in solidarity.
