(WASHINGTON EXAMINER) – There has been a growing wave of organized labor activity across the country that is being driven by younger workers at companies that haven’t typically faced unionization drives.
Late last year, the first Starbucks store in the United States voted to unionize. That set off a wave of other efforts at stores across the country, and in just months, more than 70 stores in 25 states voted to be represented by a union. An additional 275 of the company’s 9,000 locations in the U.S. have petitioned the National Labor Relations Board for a union vote.
Starbucks is not alone. Earlier this year, an Amazon warehouse in New York became the first to vote in favor of unionizing, an REI store in New York did the same, and this week, a Trader Joe’s in Massachusetts became the first to file for a union election.
