Starbucks workers' strikes expanded Saturday to include stores in Denver , Pittsburgh and Columbus , Ohio .

Amazon delivery drivers and Starbucks baristas are protesting a lack of progress in contract negotiations.

Amazon refuses to acknowledge the organizing efforts of drivers and warehouse workers.

Amazon says delivery drivers, which the Teamsters have organized for more than a year , aren't its employees.

Teamsters say Amazon workers are striking at seven delivery stations in California , San Francisco , New York City , Atlanta and Skokie , Illinois .

The union says it's fighting for higher wages, better benefits and safer working conditions for Amazon employees.

The online retailer has accused the union of pushing a "false narrative" about the thousands of workers it claims to represent.
