"description": "In August 2021, a few Starbucks workers in Buffalo formed Starbucks Workers United. The union has now organized more than 350 stores and represents over 5000 workers. But Starbucks has refused to come to the table and negotiate in good faith with those workers. More Perfect Union just learned that a billionaire-funded right-wing group is doing Starbucks’s dirty work to try to crush the union from the inside with what’s known as a decertification campaign. One year after a union election is certified, the National Labor Relations Board accepts petitions for decertification. This is supposed to give workers and corporations a year to bargain in good faith but instead it gives corporations a playbook: Stall negotiations for a year, then partner with a shady union-busting group to discredit the union by pointing to the lack of negotiations. The NLRB has already rejected decertification efforts on the basis that Starbucks has refused to negotiate. But with 350 stores already voting union, there are more on the way. This is all a stalling tactic. The workers have been clear, and the law is clear. It’s time for Starbucks to come to the table and strike a fair contract. Tell Starbucks’s board and new CEO: Stop working to break the union and negotiate with them instead!",
