Reply to comment by Gloomy-Employment-72 in Workers at Combined Starbucks and Amazon Store File for Union Election by Sorin61

Well I mean so far ~250 of the ~15,700 US stores have voted to unionize...so 1.6% of stores is a start but at the same time Starbucks has started offering raises and additional benefits to non-union shops and my understanding is that really slowed down the unionization efforts.

So unionizing helped those that weren’t even in the union, and the business is saying, “see, wee take care of non union folk”.

Except they didn’t take care of anyone until the union was invited in. It’s so odd how that happens.

Starbucks should just be called $ucks, at this point.

Combined with the fact the "unionized" stores still don't have any contract or sight of a raise or anything.
