Baristas at a Starbucks in Chicago's Bucktown neighborhood voted nearly unanimously to unionize Tuesday, making their store the fourth unionized Starbucks in the city.
Workers at the Starbucks at 2101 W. Armitage Ave. voted 15-1 to unionize with Starbucks Workers United, the Service Employees International Union affiliate representing Starbucks employees. The vote count was conducted Tuesday morning on Zoom by the National Labor Relations Board.
“I’m feeling ecstatic,” said Nicole Deming, a shift supervisor at the Bucktown store and a member of its organizing committee.
