A union has won the right to represent US Starbucks workers for the first time. The vote at a store in Buffalo, New York, won by a 19-8 margin.

The vote to unionize at a shop in Buffalo, New York, won by a 19-8 margin. The vote at a second store resulted in a count of 12 opposed versus 8 in favor of the union, but each store's tally is considered separately, so workers at the second location will not have union representation while those at the first one will. A third Buffalo store's votes were inconclusive as of Thursday afternoon.

Employees at a Starbucks in Mesa, Arizona, as well as at three other Buffalo locations, have also filed to start the process for holding a vote there.

Replace baristas with Cafe X robots and put a couple of attractive and pleasant young people at the front taking orders and bussing tables. Get rid of 19 okay paying jobs to boost the wages slightly on the remaining 8. Do it before they force you to retain unproductive workers.

Thank God and voters that North Carolina is a right to work state.

Starbucks has 235,000 employees spread across nearly 9000 US stores .None so far have been members of a union.

The company put a major effort into convincing employees that they were better off without a union , but at least in the case of one of the stores , it failed in that effort .

Locks changed 'mysteriously' overnight at all Buffalo Starbucks.

The effort to organize Starbucks employees had been closely watched nationally .
