Unionized Starbucks workers are set to strike on “Red Cup Day” Nov. 16—one of the company’s busiest days of the year.

The annual event typically marks a venti-size giveaway of the company’s free red holiday cups to customers who order peppermint mochas, gingerbread chai lattes, and other holiday drinks.
