Baristas and shift supervisors at the 305 E. Mitchell Hammock Road Starbucks in Oviedo have voted to be represented by Workers United in collective bargaining.
Collective bargaining agreements were approved by employees at four Starbucks locations in the city yesterday while a fifth store rejected the unionization effort. The organized workers will now be represented by the Philadelphia Joint Board, a branch of Workers United. The newly unionized stores include the locations at 9th and South Streets, 20th and Market Streets, 34th and Walnut Streets and the Penn Medicine Perelman Center.
Buoyed by union victories at national companies like Starbucks, Amazon and Target, the organized labor movement is once again on the rise. Will that trend reach North Dakota and Minnesota? Labor leaders are optimistic it will.
