A Tallahassee Starbucks location has become the first in the state to unionize after workers secured a victory in a 16-to-1 vote Tuesday afternoon.
The win comes more than three months after the location, at 2264-1 N. Monroe St., announced its plan to organize and became the catalyst for two other capital city locations to follow suit.
After certification, a lengthy process of forming a bargaining committee and negotiating a contract, which could take months and, in some cases years, will begin. "The investments will enable us to handle the increased demand – and deliver increased profitability – while also delivering an elevated experience to our customers and reducing strain on our partners,"Workers say they'll help other Starbucks locations unionize
