The Union said The Action was aimed at calling attention to Starbucks' refusal to fairly negotiate a contract.
Members are also protesting work conditions, including inadequate staffing on promotional days.
" We Are striking this Red Cup Day in response to understaffing, especially during new promotional days, " Caitlin Power, a barista in Gardner, Massachusetts said in a statement.

Starbucks, which operates More Than 10,000 stores across the US, said it did not expect major disruption.
" We Are aware that Workers United has publicized A Day of action at a small subset of our US stores This Week , " Starbucks said in a statement to CBS, The Bbc 's American news partner.
It said it hoped The Union 's " priorities will shift to include the shared success of our partners and working to negotiate union contracts for those they represent. "
Since 2021, workers at roughly 360 of The Company 's More Than 10,000 locations in the US have voted to join The Union .
Starbucks has fiercely opposed The Campaign .
Union members say it has dragged its feet at the negotiating table and gone So Far as to fire workers and shut stores in an effort to stop The Movement .
Administrative Law judges in the US have found The Company has repeatedly violated labour laws.
Starbucks, which typically appeals the findings, has denied wrongdoing.
