PEF officers, volunteers gather petitions to raise support and awareness for unionizing local Starbucks
September 18, 2023 // “Starbucks claims to be a progressive company, but when it comes to respecting workers’ rights, you’re anything but progressive. As Starbucks customers, we are calling on you to stop stalling, get to the bargaining table, and negotiate a fair contract. No Contract, No Coffee!” That’s the petition PEF activists and volunteers asked Starbucks customers to sign the morning of Sept. 14 at the 549 Troy-Schenectady Rd, Latham, location as part of SEIU’s Starbucks Worker Solidarity Day of Action. PEF Secretary-Treasurer Joe Donahue manned the drive-thru, while Trustee Bruce Giddings, Region 8 Coordinator Danielle Bridger, and volunteers Lynda Ames and Steve Redler gathered signatures from those going in and out of the building.
