Sen. Patty Murray has stepped into the melee between Starbucks and its union about contract negotiations ahead of a strike planned for Thursday.
Dozens of workers and supporters gathered outside closed Starbucks Reserve Roastery on Pike Street, chanting in the drizzly rain and waving picket signs as Mayor-Elect Katie Wilson took to the stage.
Just hours after Bruce Harrell conceded the narrow Seattle mayoral race to her, Mayor-elect Katie Wilson joined striking Starbucks employees on the picket line and urged people to boycott the company.
