SEATTLE — Starbucks workers and supporters rallied in major cities across the country Friday to celebrate the anniversary of the first unionized store in Buffalo, New York.
In Seattle, workers marked the occasion but also protested the closure of the city's first unionized store — a sign of the contentious relationship the union and Starbucks have had over the past year.
The rain and wind didn't deter workers and union supporters from gathering at Seattle's Cal Anderson Park on Friday.
