 Apr. 10, 2026 | U.S. LABOR | It’s difficult not to think about what a 24-year-old barista in Buffalo, New York, changed two years before most people were paying attention when you walk into a busy Thursday morning Starbucks, the kind where the espresso machines run nonstop, and the mobile order line is backed up to the door. One Starbucks location in that city had its employees vote to form a union on December 9, 2021. At the time, the company had over 9,000 stores in the US. It appears that no one at corporate headquarters has given it much thought. That was an error. ABC Money
