Starbucks workers picketed outside the Starbucks Reserve Roastery on Pike on Sunday, protesting the company's refusal to bargain for a contract, the closure of five other Seattle locations, and other 'union-busting tactics.'
“In my view, at the local, state, and federal level, these governments across the country and leaders — mayors, governors, and city councils — have abdicated their responsibility in fighting crime and addressing mental illness,” he said.
The workers were also protesting what they claimed to be Starbucks’ denial to meet with union officials to bargain for a contract for workers at the roastery following the store’s April 21 election to unionize.
