BUFFALO , Dec 10 ― Workers at two Starbucks cafes in Buffalo, New York voted to establish a union, the first at the coffee chain's company-owned shops in the United States.
The mood became more subdued after officials with the National Labour Relations Board announced that a majority at a second Buffalo-area cafe voted against the union. A Starbucks spokeswoman said the coffee giant continues to believe conditions do not justify an intermediary between the company and workers, but added, “we respect our partners' right to organise.”
A “yes” vote might have a knock-on effect ― not just for Starbucks, but for other US firms like Amazon who are fighting similar efforts by workers to organise. “All across the US, businesses are complaining that they can't find people to work, and the best way to find people to work is to give them fair wages, fair working conditions.”
He said he later “found out that wasn't the case,” and was surprised that colleagues with much more experience at the cafe were only making slightly more.
