New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders on Monday joined striking Starbucks baristas in Park Slope to push for a fair contract for workers.

This came as the coffee chain agreed to pay over $35 million to thousands of New York City workers after settling a charge that it violated workers' rights across 300 locations.

“These are not demands of grief. These are demands for decency. These are workers who are simply being asked to be treated with the respect that they deserve,” said Mamdani. “We must build a New York where our words do not ring hollow, as we say, that this is a union town, and we must build a New York where the workers who power it are able to afford to live in it.”
