Union-organizing efforts are underway at several Starbucks stores in metro Atlanta, part of a nascent but growing national campaign.
So far, just one Atlanta store has turned in a petition that could trigger a vote.
Employees at a Starbucks on Howell Mill Road say they have turned in more than the necessary signatures to the National Labor Relations Board. If the NLRB agrees that more than 30% of non-management employees are on board, it will order a vote.
