Starbucks Baristas in Chicago Join Union Campaign

Starbucks Workers in Chicago File Petitions to Unionize, Joining Nationwide Movement

Workers at two Starbucks locations in the Chicago area have taken a stand by filing petitions with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to unionize with Starbucks Workers United. This move was part of a flurry of filings that took place in February, with baristas from 21 Starbucks stores across 14 states joining the cause. It marked the largest single-day filing since the campaign began in 2021.
