NJ Starbucks Union Members Protest Pay, Working Conditions
The protest effort even caught the attention of Gov. Phil Murphy, who called on Starbucks to reform unfair pay and slashed hours.

Hi there! I'm a senior local editor for Patch covering state issues and investigations in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York City. I first joined Patch in 2020 covering New Jersey after graduating from New York University. I went on to cover the Garden State as a reporter/editor before obtaining my master's degree in journalism from Columbia University, where I specialized in investigations.
When I'm not covering the latest breaking news scoop or digging through court records, I can usually be found at a local music show or scouting the newest coffee spot in my corner of Bushwick.
Questions, comments and news tips are always appreciated. Feel free to reach me at nicole.rosenthal@patch.com, Signal at 856-521-1221 or Twitter @bynrosenthal.
