Employees at a Pittsburgh-area Starbucks say they want to de-unionize amid growing workplace tension.
The request comes just one year after the Penn Center East location became one of 25 in Pennsylvania to organize under Starbucks Workers United, which is affiliated with the SEIU.
“Things since then have been a little bit rocky, and a lot of the partners have just been very unhappy with how things are; it’s just created a very chaotic atmosphere in our store,” Gulliford said. “I think the expectations were set a little bit high.” Whether the board grants the two dozen workers at Starbucks a vote to decertify the union, however, is yet to be determined.
