'While we do acknowledge that our company has a laudable history in comparison to others, we cannot in good conscience remain silent,' a letter to interim Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz reads.

Pro-union pins sit on a table during a watch party for a Starbucks' employees union election, Dec. 9, 2021, in Buffalo, N.Y. Starbucks says it will negotiate in good faith with workers who’ve agreed to unionize in Buffalo. In a bargain letter sent to all U.S. partners, Executive Vice President Rossann Williams said that the company hasn’t wanted unionization, but respects the legal process and wants to work with those in Buffalo who voted in favor of union representation.

In a letter posted to the Twitter account SBWorkersUnited, the organizing committee at the store says that several issues among employees are driving the move. However, the store committee says, hours have been cut and “partners in marginalized communities have suffered unjust treatment with milquetoast response from upper management.”While the committee lauds Starbucks for its “progressive policies and benefits,” in its letter, it calls on Starbucks to follow “its own self-proclaimed mission statement” and sign a non-interference and fair election principles pledge.
