Listen "Megan DiMotta and Cynthia Villanave: First Starbucks in Brooklyn to File for Union Election"
Episode Synopsis
In the past week, six Starbucks stores in New York City and on Long Island have filed for union recognition with the National Labor Relations Board, the first in the NYC region to do so. They are among the more than 80 Starbucks stores in at least 23 states that have sought to unionize since baristas at a Buffalo Starbucks store voted to unionize two months ago. Two baristas — Megan DiMotta and Cynthia Villanave, from a Starbucks store in Bath Beach, Brooklyn which filed for union recognition last week, the first in Brooklyn to do so — speak with us on WBAI-99.5 FM.
