Baristas at a Starbucks location in Bellingham, Washington, recently joined the Starbucks Workers United union, marking the 500th store to do so. Over 11,000 baristas have now joined the union since the first location unionized in 2021. The union aims to secure fair wages, respect, racial and gender equity, and fair scheduling for its members. Negotiations between the union and Starbucks have been ongoing, with the company committing to bargaining in good faith. The baristas from the Bellingham location sent a letter to CEO Brian Niccol outlining their reasons for organizing. The union remains optimistic about the progress made in negotiations.
