Starbucks has said that stores across an entire market should weigh in on whether to join a union, not individual cafes as pursued by organizers with the Workers United Upstate New York. The company has pointed to its decision this fall to raise employee hourly pay, increase worker recruitment and improve cafe equipment.Joshua Bessex/Associated Press
