Labor Board Ruling Boosts Union Drive of Buffalo, NY Starbucks Workers

HeadlineNov 01, 2021

Starbucks workers in Buffalo, New York, have won a significant victory against the coffee chain giant after the National Labor Relations Board ruled three separate Buffalo stores can hold elections on whether to form a union. Starbucks fought to make the whole Buffalo region vote in just one election. Mail-in voting is scheduled to start next week and will run through December 8. If successful, the three coffee shops would be the first unionized Starbucks stores in the country.
