1. Superior Colorado Starbucks just said Yes to Union as well

More locations here in Colorado will be voting at the end of April:

When Len Harris saw workers at a Starbucks in Buffalo, NY win their union vote last year, she said she was inspired.

"That's kind of what kickstarted and inspired me to to really take the plunge," she said. "But frankly, I had been kind of noticing this pattern of worker disparity in Starbucks ... not even just Starbucks, actually really just the working class in general in America."

Friday was the first step toward having a hand in that.

Harris and her coworkers gathered inside the Superior location, as the National Labor Relations Board counted the ballots.

Ballots had to first be validated by the board, 14 of which were. They needed to hit a threshold of eight "yes" votes.

"And the moment that eight hit, all of us jumped out of our chairs. But the count just kept going. So we felt bad," Harris excitedly recalled, saying the final vote was 12-2 in favor of the union.
