Workers at a Starbucks in Park Slope voted seven to two to join Starbucks Workers United, marking a significant step in the unionization movement in New York City.
With over 500 Starbucks locations having voted to unionize, issues such as respect, living wages, racial and gender equity, and fair scheduling have gained prominence in employees' demands.
Orion Booth, a barista of five years, expressed enthusiasm about the unionization, stating, 'My coworkers and I are excited to now have increased protection for our benefits and a voice in our store's policies.'
The successful union vote at the Park Slope Starbucks reflects a growing trend among workers seeking better conditions, as they aim to improve the overall quality of life in their workplace.
