“We voted to join Starbucks Workers United because we believe the partners who keep this store running every day deserve a seat at the table,” Salma said, shift supervisor and partner of nearly two years. “We care deeply about our store, our customers, and each other, and we’re coming together to make sure partners are heard, supported, treated with the respect we deserve.”
Starbucks Workers United says baristas and the company have reached more than 30 tentative agreements on various issues, while hundreds of unfair labor practice cases remain unresolved. The union is calling for a finalized contract addressing pay, scheduling and other workplace concerns.
