LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Starbucks' popular "Red Cup Day" is Thursday, but those cups may be hard to get at some Kentuckiana locations.
That's because union workers in Louisville, Elizabethtown, and Clarksville in southern Indiana will be on strike.
Union workers at the Starbucks locations on Baxter Avenue, Factory Lane and South 3rd Street planned to walk off the job at 4:30 a.m.
The strike will also happen at locations on The Loop in Elizabethtown and Veterans Parkway in Clarksville.
Starbucks Workers United said the company is refusing to bargain over staffing and other issues. But Starbucks said the union hasn't agreed to meet in more than four months.
The location on Baxter Avenue was the latest to join the union, and the fourth in metro Louisville to vote to unionize. The Clarksville location was the first in Indiana to unionize.Â
