BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Three additional Buffalo-area Starbucks locations have voted to unionize.
The locations that voted and the vote counts are listed below:
- 1775 Walden Avenue, Cheektowaga — 8-7 to unionize
- 3186 Sheridan Drive, Amherst — 15-12 to unionize
- 4770 Transit Road, Depew — 15-12 to unionize
The vote count for these three locations was supposed to take place on February 23. It was delayed after the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) impounded the votes due to Starbucks submitting a request for review.
We went 3/3 today, doubling the number of unionized Starbucks in the United States. Partners in Buffalo, NY, overcame incredible union-busting odds to stand together and win. #WhyWeOrganize
