Worker organizing at Starbucks is on fire. What started with one store in Buffalo has swiftly spread to other locations across the country.
Twenty stores have now unionized, including four so far this week in unanimous votes. The union has lost only once, when one of the first three stores in Buffalo to organize voted down the union back in December. More than 200 Starbucks stores have sought elections, with more added every day.
The return of Howard Schultz to Starbucks as interim CEO on April 4 hasn't slowed the movement, despite his appeal to employees, known as partners at Starbucks, to trust him — not a union — to make things right for them.

“My job in coming back to Starbucks is to ensure the fact that we… reimagine a new Starbucks with our partners at the center of it all, as a pro-partner company, as a company that does not need someone in between us and our people,” Schultz told employees at a town-hall style meeting on his first day back.
But more and more workers at Starbucks believe otherwise. They say a worker-led union is exactly what they need to have a seat at the table."...
