After years of conflict, the two sides announced last February they had agreed to resolve their disagreements, including litigation stemming from social media posts about the Israel-Hamas war. The talks broke down in late 2024 over the issue of pay, with the union also saying the two parties hadn’t reached a resolution on the lawsuits.

On its website, the company said it continues to work toward reaching an “agreement on a framework for single-store contracts.” Starbucks and the union agreed to bring in an outside mediator for the negotiations.
