72% of the employees at a San Francisco Sunset District Starbucks voted today to unionize. This is the 2nd SF store to unionize after a Castro store did so last summer.
Union representatives said employees voted 13 to five for the 9th Avenue and Irving Street store to join the union.
Workers United issued a statement on Friday saying a few weeks ago, workers held a ‘sip-in’ as a form of protest. "A manager asked one of our partners if the union was strong. Today, the partners answered back. The answer is ‘Yes!' The union is really strong," the union statement read.
