>Starbucks Workers Unionize More Than 50 U.S. Stores
(Seattle, WA) -- Workers efforts to unionize Starbucks are reaching a milestone. There are now over 50 stores unionized, with more looking to join. The Starbucks Workers United campaign has won about 85-percent of union elections that have been held. Just last year, none of Starbucks corporate owned stores in the U.S. had union membership. The company has tried to slow the pace of union elections urging workers to vote against unionization.
