Starbucks workers in New York are organizing to form first US union

Last week, the group of workers in the Buffalo area publicly announced their union organizing drive and the formation of their organizing committee, Starbucks Workers United, in a letter to the Starbucks CEO, Kevin Johnson.

None of the more than 8,000 Starbucks locations in the US are unionized.
