Labor Group Withdraws Board Nominees at Starbucks
By Will Feuer
Strategic Organizing Center, a coalition of labor groups that owns a stake in Starbucks, said it has withdrawn its nominees for the company's board, saying the coffee chain has taken steps to improve its relationship with its workers.
Starbucks and the Workers United union said last week that they have agreed to discussions as to how to best move forward with bargaining agreements for unionized stores and employees.
Starbucks also said it will give baristas in unionized stores benefits and pay that the chain first offered to non-unionized stores in 2022, including credit card tipping.
The Strategic Organizing Center said it is time to acknowledge the progress and to allow the company and its workers to focus on moving forward, so it is withdrawing its three director nominees.
