Urbana’s only stand-alone Starbucks is now closed, and it’s not just about coffee—it’s about workers demanding better pay and fair treatment. Employees joined a national strike, joining others across the country who say $15.25 an hour doesn’t cut it when executives are making millions. Both Urbana and Champaign locations are affected, with picketers hoping to rally more support from the community. This move is sparking conversations about what fair wages look like in our own backyard. How do you feel about local workers taking a stand, and what impact does this have on your daily coffee run? #Safety #StarbucksStrike #Urbana
