Good news, my fellow workers and comrades! The Starbucks at 63rd & Grand in OKC is the state’s first location to join more than 50 stores nationwide in unionizing.
The first Oklahoma store filed for a union petition today, bringing our total to 97 stores in 26 states!

“I believe that we should have the right to feel safe and appreciated in our jobs. This movement will make sure of that." — Zaniel Aguirre, barista at the 63rd & Grand store
Even though Starbucks employees deserve a hell of a lot more than $12 per hour to memorize a 23 step drink order for each member of the Saturday morning gathering of the Karens, they’re not the only ones who should be collectively bargaining for better treatment in this state.
