Starbucks workers in Santa Cruz filed a union petition on Friday, joining coffee-chain workers elsewhere in the country trying to organize.
Workers at a Starbucks in Santa Cruz filed a union petition with the National Labor Relations Board, the first California store to join a growing national push to organize baristas and shift supervisors at the coffee giant.
In early December, a Starbucks store in Buffalo, N.Y., voted in favor of forming the chain’s first union in the U.S. Since then, workers at a cascade of stores across the country announced their own organizing campaigns to join the union, Starbucks Workers United. The organization is part of Workers United, an affiliate of the giant Service Employees International Union.
She criticized the company for mishandling a large number of security incidents that began to happen during late hours: “Rather than hiring a security guard to keep baristas safe, police were called to drive around the area and treat homeless people like criminals.” After the U.S. Supreme Court blocked the Biden administration from enforcing a vaccine mandate for large employers last week, Starbucks announced it would no longer require its U.S. workers to be fully vaccinated or submit to weekly coronavirus testing — one of the most high-profile companies to do so.
“I don’t think anyone quite expected the explosive response we got,” said Ian Hayes, a lawyer working with the union who filed the Santa Cruz store’s petition, as well as the earlier Buffalo store petitions.
