BELLINGHAM, Wash. – The Sehome Village Starbucks has become the company’s third Bellingham location to unionize after workers cast their votes on Thursday, December 1st.
The store started the unionizing process back in October when the two other unionized locations in Bellingham were striking in response to the loss of COVID-19 sick pay.
Workers told the Herald they are excited to grow their movement to be able to negotiate better working conditions with the giant coffee corporation.
They say the company has refused to properly staff the locations to keep up with productivity demands.
