– A San Antonio Starbucks has become the first of the coffee chain’s stores in Texas to file for unionization with the National Labor Relations Board.
that workers at a Starbucks on the city’s north side “sent a letter to company CEO Kevin Johnson explaining their desire to organize and announced they ‘are ready to finally be regarded as [a] partner, officially’.”While the store is the first to file in Texas, it joins a growing movement across the country of Starbucks workers looking to unionize. Starbucks Workers United has grown quickly after starting in Buffalo in 2021.
Some worry that unionization may drive up costs due to labor, but prices at many businesses have already increased anyway due to inflation. Additionally, Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnston’s salary rose by 31% to $20.4 million last yearIn response to the growing demand among workers for union representation, Starbucks has undertaken a massive anti-union campaign. Workers have reported being required to attend anti-union meetings, being sent anti-union texts from the company, among other things.
While it is illegal for a company to retaliate against workers for organizing, methods such as these fall within legal limits.The CBS DFW team is a group of experienced journalists who along with our many CBS 11 reporters, bring you content on CBSDFW.com.
