Unions

Organizers of the first successful Amazon unionization effort followed a playbook, according to a top retail consultant.

Starbucks has started to unionize in several locations, with dozens more considering a vote to do the same.

Employees of the Starbucks Reserve Roastery in Manhattan's Chelsea Market voted 46-36 to unionize with Starbucks Workers United.

Union supporters at the JFK8 facility secured a wide enough margin to give the fledgling Amazon Labor Union, spearheading the union effort, enough support to pull off a win.

Amazon workers looking to unionize in two locations may be close to winning one and losing another.

The National Labor Relations Board is slated to start counting Amazon worker votes at the Bessemer, Alabama facility and the JFK8 facility, one of two Staten Island warehouses pushing to unionize, by 1 p.m. EST Thursday.

Wages for 570 workers at the facility will increase by 6% during the first year with another 5% increase during the second year and a 4.5% bump during the third year. This equates to 15.5% over the term of the contract.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Tuesday made a jab at the United Auto Workers over embezzlement charges against one of its former officials.

Employees at the JFK8 facility are slated to vote in person through March 30, according to the National Labor Relations Board. The ballot count will be conducted on March 31, the labor board said.

Former Starbucks Chairman Howard Schultz has returned amid the coffee chain's employee unionization movement.

DoorDash, Gopuff, Grubhub, HopSkipDrive, Instacart, Lyft, Shipt and Uber are organzing under a new umbrella organization.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk invited the United Auto Workers union to hold a vote at the company this week after Biden declined to mention the electric vehicle pioneer in Tuesday evening's State of the Union address.

Amazon organizer Christian Smalls said Wednesday he was arrested when he delivered warehouse workers food as part of the union campaign he is leading.

U.S. National Labor Relations Board confirmed that “parties in the union election at the JFK8 Amazon warehouse in Staten Island have tentatively reached a stipulated election agreement.”

Starbucks Workers United, the union seeking to organize workers at stores nationwide, has reposted images on Twitter of different locations holding signs in support of the seven workers now accusing the company of "union-busting" and vowing to file a complaint with the labor board.

Workers in their 20s are leading efforts to unionize in the U.S.
