The liberal workers the company has long attracted are expanding a union campaign to other cities after a landmark victory in Buffalo.

A sudden swarm of snooping supervisors. An anti-union meeting where the union-buster speaker lies about its purpose—and a worker calls the speaker out on it. Writing up another worker for going to visit his sick mother in the hospital. Welcome to some of the abuses Starbucks has visited upon its 30 workers at its store at 6807 East Baseline Road in Mesa, Ariz., because, as one said, they dare to vote to unionize.

Workers at four Starbucks stores across the country filed petitions for union elections with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) in the course of the last week, the latest in a swelling wave of labor activism that has swept the coffee giant since workers at one location in Buffalo, New York, voted to unionize a month ago.

The actions of Jan. 6 2021 were a result of ill-informed and misguided individuals listening to a dictator and his cronies, who till today, continue to spread lies about the election and attack America’s democracy.

Starbucks workers at a Mesa store are fighting a union battle with the corporate giant following a successful union drive that Buffalo, New York, employees launched in the summer of 2021.

Today the NLRB dismissed Starbucks' request and approved the counting of the ballots, signaling yet another win for the partners.
