Justice Navin Chawla permanently restrained LOL Cafe from using the "Frappuccino" mark to sell its products and opined that Starbucks Corporation is also entitled to the "cost of the suit"
Starbucks workers at more than 100 US stores say they're going on strike Thursday in what would be the largest labour action since a campaign to unionize the company's stores began late last year. The walkouts are scheduled to coincide with Starbucks' annual Red Cup Day, when the company gives free reusable cups to customers who order a holiday drink. Workers say it's often one of the busiest days of the year. Starbucks declined to say how many red cups it plans to distribute. Workers say they're seeking better pay, more consistent schedules and higher staffing levels in busy stores. Starbucks opposes the unionization effort, saying the company functions best when it works directly with employees. The Seattle coffee giant has more than 9,000 company-owned stores in the US. Stores in 25 states planned to take part in the labour action, according to Starbucks Workers United, the group organising the effort. Some workers planned to picket all day while others planned shorter walkouts.
