> newly minted union
The union does not appear to be new at least to me. It seems like the StarBucks union is apart of a larger organization of unions.
So this isn’t a _new_ union or a union _moving fast and breaking things_ it’s a conglomerate of other much veteran unions.
> Starbucks Workers United is a national collective of Starbucks Partners who help organize workplaces alongside Workers United Upstate, a union with members across many industries, including the coffee industry.

- xracy 4y ago> The current Starbucks unionization movement began in Buffalo, New York when a store voted to unionize in late 2021. Less than 2 years from your own article. That counts as newly minted. Also how many of those locations have a contract at this point? That's the bigger and more relevant piece of this. The fact that other unions are helping them out, doesn't mean that those other unions have negotiated with Starbucks. That's it's own thing that makes every union negotiation different.
