Mamdani Backs Starbucks Strike as Boycott Push Grows

Liberal politicians, including Democrat socialist New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, have thrown their support behind thousands of striking Starbucks workers, calling for a boycott of the coffee giant until employees’ contract demands are met.

“Starbucks workers across the country are on an Unfair Labor Practices strike, fighting for a fair contract,” Mamdani wrote Thursday night on X. “While workers are on strike, I won’t be buying any Starbucks, and I’m asking you to join us.”

Mamdani’s backing represents an early indication of how he might use the bully pulpit of his office, Business Insider reported.
