Employees at two Kansas City-area Starbucks stores announced on Monday plans to unionize. In a joint press release, organizers at Starbucks’ Country Club Plaza and 75th Street (Overland Park) locations said unsafe working conditions and stagnant wages prompted the decision.
Eighty-four percent of workers at the Overland Park location have filed union cards, said shift manager Hannah McCown.
Additionally, a majority of employees at coffee chain’s Country Club Plaza location have signed cards, according to the release.
Employees of the Plaza location wrote a letter to Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson on Monday, citing safety concerns and low wages as the impetus for their decision.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel sounds like they have legitimate issues. I see this as a plus for them.

Why unionize? I thought Starbucks was a company that loved and cared for their employees? Geez...they make coffee not cars!
