Employees at four Starbucks locations in Michigan are joining the movement to unionize workers at the country's biggest coffee chain.
Starbucks Workers United, the union behind the movement, announced Friday that workers at two stores in Ann Arbor and one each in Clinton Township and Grand Blanc are filing petitions with the National Labor Relations Board to hold union elections.
"We believe that a union will make us true partners of this company," workers on the Grand Blanc store's union organizing committee wrote Thursday in a letter to Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson.
