Workers at a Starbucks in Memphis, Tennessee, have voted to unionize, after the Workers United union won an election to represent the store’s baristas. 

Memphis, June 8 (RHC)-- Workers at a Starbucks in Memphis, Tennessee, have voted to unionize, after the Workers United union won an election to represent the store’s baristas.  This is the same store that fired seven union activists, known as the “Memphis 7,” who were trying to organize back in February. 

The store is now one of the approximately 115 Starbucks locations that have voted to unionize in recent months. 

Nikki Taylor of the Memphis 7 told reporters:  “We just won, after a fight that almost took, I know, me out.  I want to say thank you to our supporters across the nation that have held us down, all our supporters here in the city of Memphis.  Memphis is a union town, and Poplar Highland is unionized, baby!”
