At the first Starbucks in San Francisco to unionize, workers spent time today by the curb rather than the counter, participating in a one-day strike. The strike is meant to highlight the push to get Starbucks to negotiate with newly-formed unions.
"We’re looking for stuff like better staffing," said James Kreiss, a Starbucks shift supervisor."We’re looking for more predictable schedules. We are looking for livable wages."
There has been a call for employees to unionize for months, but each store has to vote to do so individually.Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter. "We are striking basically to get Starbucks to negotiate with us in good faith," Kreiss said."We’re trying to put some pressure on them because at the moment, at least at my store, we've been certified with our union after we won our election in August and we still haven’t received a date to start negotiations."
Starbucks released a statement on Thursday's action, saying, in part,"We remain committed to all partners and will continue to work together, side-by-side, to make Starbucks a company that works for everyone. In those stores where partners have elected union-representation, we have been willing and continue to urge the union to meet us at the bargaining table to move the process forward in good faith.
