Cary Starbucks votes to become the ninth store in NC to unionize its baristas
Baristas at the Starbucks off U.S. 64 and Edinburgh South Drive in Cary voted 11-2 to unionize Tuesday, according to a Wednesday release from Starbucks Workers United. The Cary store filed a petition for a union election on Sep. 18, federal records show. Thirteen of the 18 eligible employees voted to make the Cary Starbucks the ninth store to join Starbucks Workers United in North Carolina — and the fourth in the Triangle — according to the national union’s map . Starbucks Workers United says they have unionized over 12,000 baristas at 700 stores in 45 states since the campaign began in late 2021. Baristas at unionized stores are demanding better hours to address under-staffing and qualify for benefits, higher take-home pay and the resolution of unfair labor practice cases, Starbucks Workers United wrote in the Wednesday release. “I believe in democracy everywhere, and if I can have democracy in my workplace, I’m going to vote for it,” Cary store barista Wren Wingerd said. In a Wednesday afternoon statement, Starbucks said it offers employees who work 20 hours a week comprehensive healthcare, tuition coverage for a four-year college degree, company stock and up to 18 weeks of paid family leave.
