From the Seattle Times — — Workers at a second Seattle Starbucks location have joined the nationwide wave of unionization at the coffee giant — this time at one of the company’s flagship roastery locations. Employees at the Starbucks Reserve Roastery, at Pike Street and Melrose Avenue in Capitol Hill, voted 38-27 to unionize with Workers United, an affiliate of the SEIU. The vote shows “we’re really just hitting the gas with this movement,” said barista Liz Duran.
