Lynbrook Starbucks Workers Plan Union Vote

LYNBROOK, NY — Starbucks workers in Lynbrook have taken the next step toward unionizing.

Employees at the shop on 839 Sunrise Highway filed a petition stating their intent to unionize. The National Labor Relations Board will give workers an election date.

“Going public is a really big step for me and my store. We have experienced a lot of bad together and still somehow been able to perform together as a team. Being able to unionize is something momentous and I can’t wait till we’re able to fight to get the support we deserve," Lynbrook employee Ana Salazar said.

Workers at Starbucks in Massapequa, Garden City, Farmingville and Wantagh previously chose to unionize. In Great Neck, where a union attempt failed, worker Joselyn Chuquillanqui, who led the charge, was fired.
