New York, November 3 (RHC)-- In U.S. labor news, workers at a Starbucks/Amazon Go store in New York City have filed a petition for a union election with Starbucks Workers United.  Employees say they work two jobs but only get paid for one since they’re both acting as baristas for Starbucks and also stocking shelves and tracking inventory for Amazon’s convenience store. 

Meanwhile, unionized workers at the Starbucks Roastery in New York City are in the second week of a strike over unsafe and unsanitary working conditions, including a bed bug infestation and mold in the ice machines.

In related news, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) says Starbucks broke the law when it closed an Ithaca store in upstate New York as retaliation against unionizing workers.  The NLRB says Starbucks should reopen the store and compensate workers for lost wages.
