Congrats to the workers at the Starbucks at Old Fairhaven Parkway and 30th! They voted to unionize with Starbucks Workers United on September 30. This makes 4 union Starbucks in town- only the store on Bakerview remains (so far) unorganized. This is the 500th store across the country to join SBWU.
The union’s press release said “The Old Fairhaven Parkway and 30th store became the fourth Starbucks in Bellingham to join the union Monday and the 30th in Washington. These baristas join a growing nationwide movement of more than 11,000 baristas working together to win justice at work, including protections on core issues like respect, living wages, racial and gender equity, and fair scheduling.”
So, drop by and congratulate the baristas! If you order a drink, place an order under the name of ‘Union Strong!’ or ‘Solidarity Forever!’
