A Starbucks employee in Chicago sported a t-shirt and button advocating for unionization on April 7, 2022. CEO Brian Niccol expressed Starbucks’ commitment to engaging in fair negotiations with the union representing its baristas to establish a labor agreement. The union, Starbucks Workers United, is striving for fair scheduling, a living wage, and gender and racial equity as part of their negotiations with the company. Over 490 Starbucks locations in the U.S. are now represented by Workers United, encompassing over 10,500 employees. The ongoing discussions between Starbucks and the union mark a significant milestone in the unionization efforts that were initially met with resistance from the coffee chain.
