Restaurant workers seek union

Starbucks workers at Clemson’s Tiger Blvd. and College Avenue filed a petition today with the NLRB — the National Labor Relations Board — to unionize with Starbucks Workers United.  The announcement was made by Starbucks Workers United.  Workers sent a letter to the Starbucks CEO, explaining, “We have had partners be forced to deal with discrimination of race and illness.  We have received drastic hour cuts and hours being allotted unfairly due to favoritism.  We have been left to wonder if the scheduled hours are being continually cut….Three South Carolina Starbucks have voted to unionize, described as part of a national movement for better wages and working conditions.
