Days after baristas at two Chicago Starbucks voted to unionize, workers at two more city stores have filed for union elections with the National Labor Relations Board.
workers at two more city stores have filed for union elections with the National Labor Relations Board.
The union filings come out of Starbucks locations at 6350 N. Broadway in Edgewater and 6075 N. Lincoln Ave. in West Rogers Park. The “overwhelming majority” of employees at the stores signed union authorization cards, according to Workers United, the Service Employees International Union affiliate that represents the Starbucks workers.
“We want to make sure that our voices are heard, and I don’t think Starbucks does a good enough job right now in making sure that our voices are heard,” said Ryan Kiefer, a shift supervisor and organizing committee member at the Edgewater store who has worked at Starbucks for more than seven years.
“We are honored to stand beside them, united in this fight,” they wrote. “Our call to unionize is not retaliation or reactionary to any specific policy but, rather, a genuine desire for partners to be heard and to make this company the best we believe it can be.” In the Chicago area, 10 stores have filed for union representation with Starbucks Workers United since January. Employees at two stores in Edgewater became the first unionized Starbucks baristas in Chicago when they voted overwhelmingly in favor of the union last week.
