 Mar. 1, 2024 | COORDINATED BARGAINING | Starbucks union representatives want to create a national template for labor contract negotiations with the coffee chain, according to union organizers - an idea a Starbucks spokeswoman said the company believes is "speculative." The union, Workers United, has organized nearly 400 stores out of the company's 9,700 U.S. locations since 2021, and is seeking to organize more. Starbucks so far has sought to negotiate only individual contracts store-by-store. The union has argued this is a delaying tactic… Beyond Starbucks, a national bargaining process would mark a significant milestone for nascent efforts to organize the service sector. U.S. News Why this matters: Teamsters Warehouse Division Director Tom Erickson has been a vocal proponent of coordinated bargaining.
