Two Major Downtown Seattle Starbucks Stores Petition to Unionize | Eater Seattle

"Workers at the Seattle Center location say the store is unique from the standard neighborhood Starbucks and that the event-goers and tourists who flood the Center create a singular strain that could be manageable with effective planning, but management has not implemented comprehensive solutions; they complain staff are being pushed off healthcare by being scheduled for too few hours while others are given hours they cannot work, and they state, “We refuse to accept increasing demands without increasing compensation.”" - Sophie Grossman
