Workers at a Seattle Starbucks on March 22 voted unanimously to unionize, giving the Starbucks Workers United, an affiliate of the Service Employees International Union, one of its most high-profile wins to date.
Starbucks is headquartered in Seattle. Of the 13 employees eligible to vote at the state’s Broadway and Denny location, nine voted in favor and none voted against joining the union, according to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
