Roastery, 'Gaybucks', and others could be just the start of Starbucks union

Ever since a Starbucks store in Buffalo, New York, launched a union this winter, the buzz has spread out west

The baristas at "Gaybucks," as people in the neighborhood call their store, say their working conditions have become "unbearable."

In a letter to new interim CEO Howard Schultz, the workers at East Olive Way say understaffing, stagnant wages and severe burnout after the pandemic have led them to one option: unionization.

They filed on Starbucks' 51st anniversary to join the fledgling union – Starbucks Workers United.

And this is a movement that may be just warming up.
