Workers at Starbucks locations in Madison and Monona are advocating for union representation, joining a growing movement across the region.
Teams at the Rimrock Road store in Madison and the Monona Drive location in Monona are among 21 groups petitioning the National Labor Relations Board to formalize their union.
The employees cite concerns over wages, benefits, and workplace safety.
While some Starbucks branches have already voted to unionize, negotiations for a collective bargaining agreement are pending.
