#Starbucks agreed with the main #union, #StarbucksWorkersUnited, representing its workers to start talks about how to achieve #collectivebargaining agreements and provide a fair process for #unionorganizing.
Around 400 of Starbucks’ more than 9,700 corporate-run US locations have voted to join the union since its first landmark win in Dec 2021. Yet none of the locations has come close to securing a union contract with company, and the pace of the union’s growth has slowed

While just the beginning of a long and difficult road, more very good news on the labor rights front.

Inspired by #Starbucks #unionorganizing, #PeetsCoffee workers file for #union elections "Leaders at the two Peet's stores say that they have near-unanimous buy-in from their co-workers" Peet's has 330+ locations across the US—none of which are #unionized. https://bit.ly/3F6FqZE

"The reason people often say that organizing feels manipulative is that you have a goal in your interactions with other people. This is a key tension, and how you navigate this tension determines whether you respect someone’s agency and explore it with them or whether you try to use them as a pawn in your own desire to advance your activism. In short, empowerment vs. manipulation."
