Employees at the unionized coffee shops are set to walk off the job Friday through Sunday, protesting alleged union-busting tactics and the company shutting down organized Starbucks stores.
“Our location is striking in solidarity with the unionized locations nationwide that have been illegally closed for the heinous ‘crime’ of fighting for a better workplace,” Starbucks worker and organizer Melissa Lee-Litowitz said in a statement. “In the face of flagrant hour cuts and needlessly harsh crackdowns on dress coding union apparel, we are left with little other option to address these injustices but to strike.”was at Bryn Mawr and Winthrop avenues in Edgewater.
The four city locations going on strike are at Irving Park Road and Ashland Avenue in Lakeview, Ridge Avenue and Clark Street as well as Broadway and Devon Avenue in Edgewater, and in the Lincoln Village shopping complex in North Park. They’re joined by the Starbucks at 620 Northwest Highway in northwest suburban Cary and the location at Willow and Pfingsten Roads in north suburban Glenview.
“There will continue to be no tolerance for any unlawful anti-union behavior, if ever found to be true. No Starbucks partner has been disciplined or fired for engaging in lawful union or labor activity. All partners have the right to make their voice heard when it comes to union issues,” the Starbucks spokesperson said. “A partner’s involvement in union activity does not exempt them from adhering to the policies and procedures that apply to all partners.
Also in December, employees at the Starbucks in Old Orchard Mall in Skokie and at Main Street and Chicago Avenue in Evanston announced their plans to unionize.
