The ongoing Starbucks union workers' strike has now expanded to a dozen states, union representatives confirmed to USA TODAY on Monday.
The five-day strike began Friday and initially shut down Starbucks locations in Los Angeles, Chicago and Seattle before spreading to cafes in New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Denver, Pittsburgh and Columbus, Ohio, according to Starbucks Workers United.
Labor representatives told USA TODAY on Monday morning that union members in Boston, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Portland, Oregon also joined picket lines.
Starbucks spokesperson Phil McGee said the "few disruptions" have not had a significant effect on the business' operations because only a small handful of locations have been impacted.
