Workers at a Starbucks location in Buffalo have voted to unionize. “The effort to organize Starbucks employees had been closely watched nationally,” per CNN. "The company put a major effort into convincing employees that they were better off without a union, but at least in the case of one of the stores, it failed in that effort.” Besides seeking better pay, union supporters say organizing the workforce is the only way to have their voices heard about the way their stores are run.
