Since the first Starbucks in Buffalo voted yes, hundreds of stores have unionized. However, unionized stores still make up only 3% of all company-operated locations.
Workers at more than 330 Starbucks locations have held votes with the National Labor Relations Board , the federal agency responsible for enforcing U.S. labor laws, since last December.
Starbucks has not yet signed any collective bargaining agreement with Workers United. That's largely because the process to reach a first contract can take a long time. "While change is rarely easy, we are proud of our fierce commitment to be a partner-focused company that offers industry-leading compensation and benefit packages," said Starbucks spokeswoman Rachel Wall in an email to NPR.
But Workers United has criticized the company for intimidating workers and discouraging them from organizing unions., such as firings and shuttered stores, for their union involvement.
