Dozens of Seattle Starbucks workers hit the picket line Sunday, in front of one of the coffee giant's largest location, the Seattle Reserve Roastery.Dozens of Seattle Starbucks workers hit the picket line Sunday, in front of one of the coffee giant's largest location, the Seattle Reserve Roastery. The workers say the company refuses to bargain with the union as the members demand better pay and working conditions.
"We have already had the election happen to unionize our store and Starbucks has now said they have found flaws in it, so they are trying to say we can’t utilize that we can’t use that as our unionizing, so they are trying to fight it," said Gabriel Merryfield, a Starbucks barista and trainer. "They don’t want to bargain with us."
He says the other reason the company listed for the appeal had to do with COVID 19 cases, adding that Starbucks has argued that the conditions surrounding the April vote did not meet the National Labor Relation Board's standards for mail-in ballots. "The message is we will no longer wait for Starbucks to listen to us at the table. We are demanding a chance to bargain right now," said Maddaloni. , dated July 14, 2022, explaining the company's reason for the appeal:
The NLRB metric at issue for the Seattle Roastery was whether the 14-day trend in new COVID cases in the county was increasing at the time the NLRB issued their decision. If cases were increasing, a mail ballot election would be justified, but if the case count was stable or decreasing, an in-person election would be required. We presented data to the NLRB clearly demonstrating that the case rate was decreasing at the time the Regional Director issued his decision.
