The coffee giant and union announced the pacts on Friday as part of their ongoing talks in Chicago to establish a “framework” for each unionized store to build their individual collective bargaining agreements. The agreements focus on issues including “partner accountability,” protections requiring “just cause” for terminations, education for workers seeking union representation, and the sharing of worker information between the company and the union, according to a joint statement. They come after several years of Starbucks’ aggressive opposition to its workers unionizing, which has generated hundreds of unfair labor practice proceedings at the National Labor Relations Board and in federal courts.
