Seal Beach Starbucks Workers Join Historic Unionization Effort: Report

SEAL BEACH, CA — Workers at a Seal Beach Starbucks location have filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board to unionize as part of the largest single-day filing in the company's history, according to reports.

The Seal Beach store located at 12430 Seal Beach Boulevard part of a group of stores that includes two other California stores and stores from 13 other states that joined the mass filing, according to the Long Beach Business Journal.

“Across the country management is cutting hours, writing inconsistent and unreliable schedules, and placing more and more work on fewer and fewer partners,” the workers wrote in a joint letter to Starbucks CEO Laxman Narasimhan.

The unionization effort seeks to stop Starbucks from continuing its "illegal union-busting campaign" and bargain to achieve better working conditions, higher pay, fair scheduling and policies that address discrimination and harassment while at work.
