Starbucks Workers United

There was a lot on the docket during the most recent meeting of the Tompkins County Legislature, plus some debate not tied to any specific motions. Here's a recap.

The resolution passed committee on a four-to-one vote. The full council will vote on the resolution on July 6th.

“Today, we unionize a store that is not even four months old. That really shows that the unions are in the future for Starbucks."

Inspired by a successful effort to unionize a location in Buffalo in December, Starbucks workers at three locations in Ithaca said they want to follow suit.
