Union supporters walk out at Buffalo Starbucks, citing health concerns

CNN  

New York CNN Business — Six employees at a Buffalo Starbucks that recently voted to join a union walked out just before 9 am Wednesday citing health concerns, prompting the temporary closing of the store. Starbucks decided to close the Buffalo store rather than keep it open with staff from other locations once the workers walked out Wednesday, Starbucks spokesperson Reggie Borges said. Workers in the Buffalo store “have been pressured to work by Starbucks despite understaffing and health concerns,” the union said in a tweet Wednesday. Partners will return when it’s safe to do so.” Borges said that three of the Starbucks workers at the Buffalo store remained on the job when their co-workers walked out Wednesday.
