Starbucks and Workers United make ‘significant progress’ in contract talks #

Starbucks and Workers United have reported making “significant progress” in their recent contract talks. This marks the first time in nearly a year that the two parties have come to the bargaining table. The discussions focused on resolving grievances, detailing the union’s representation of Starbucks baristas, and other related topics. Both sides have expressed their commitment to continue working together and plan to meet again in late May to further develop the framework for the single-store contracts. While there is still more work to be done, this represents a positive step forward.
