Buffalo Starbucks workers helped spark the chain's labor union movement. Now, one of the stores has filed to decertify its union.
The store, located in downtown Buffalo, New York, would remove Workers United as its representative in negotiations with Starbucks,Before that can happen, workers at the store must vote in an election to approve the action.
"Almost every union leader at the store was fired or forced out because of the environment of intimidation and fear that Starbucks management created," the spokesperson said."In fact, the company is currently being prosecuted for the discriminatory treatment of workers at the Del-Chip store." Under federal law, workers can file a petition for decertification without citing a reason, Bloomberg Law reported.
