The company plans to close five Seattle locations at the end of the month due to safety concerns.

But some employees of those stores worry about what’s next for them — especially those from the Olive Way location on Capitol Hill.KIRO 7 also spoke with one barista from the roastery who says they have hip problems because of the shift they work.

They also claim the company has refused to acknowledge that some shops have unionized and want them to vote on the matter again, a process they say has been extremely frustrating. “It has been months of waiting back and forth and now they are even refusing to acknowledge the fact that we have voted,” said Alexander Ray Webster. “That’s not right. We voted. We won the vote. We were supposed to start bargaining long ago and they are just refusing to acknowledge that.”
