2 Santa Cruz Starbucks Stores Could Become First in the California to Unionize | Eater SF

"The Mission Street shop is the other Santa Cruz store up for the May 11 count and, like the Ocean Street location, has 31 employees who would be represented by Starbucks Workers United; the union says the stores faced intimidation from managers and the NLRB is moving forward with a formal complaint that will impact these locations. Regardless of the vote, the union plans to host a rally at the Mission Street store at 2:30 p.m., and organizers view the result as a potential barometer for union power elsewhere in Northern California." - Paolo Bicchieri
