Employees at West 6th Starbucks in Cleveland take first step toward unionization
Starbucks workers are euphemized as"partners" in the corporate lingo, but workers say that during the pandemic, they've felt more like"cogs in a machine."
Cara Rovella, 22, is a barista and barista trainer at the W. 6th location. She started working at the popular coffee chain in July of this year. She told Scene that she signed a union authorization card, along with the overwhelming majority of her colleagues, for a number of reasons. Rovella said that the unionization process has moved extremely quickly, and that local workers were inspired by the unionization effort at the Buffalo location.
