I’m anti-union and against the needless murdering of coffee beans by Charbucks, so I’d say don’t go there so they’ll close and leave Cheyenne. We have other coffee shops that will serve you better coffee, or roast your own beans to enjoy an exceptional cup of coffee. And let these wackadoos find employment elsewhere, or hopefully relocate to Fort Collins. And I’m anti-union because they’re usually socialist operations that just take your hard earned money and don’t offer any meaningful benefit, as being a former employee of AT&T I got to see first hand how the CWA operated after my shop went union through card count deprived of even a vote on the matter. And you’re better served by most organizations with their open door policies, as you can take matters up the chain of command, and managers do not like having matters at the lower levels brought to them provided you have a legitimate issue (and there is usually Human Resources as well). If you’re a bad employee (most are that want a union), then the union will help give you cover. Also, after unionization, the relationship between management and workers sours pretty quickly and morale of the organization declines substantially. And unionization is against the Bible and the directive of God to be a good employee as though serving the Lord.
They join a week-long nationwide movement made by more than 3,000 Starbucks workers across more than 150 stores in the country.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Several Starbucks staff members are striking today in front of the store’s Central Avenue location to raise awareness about their unionization efforts and to show support for LGBTQ+ workers.
The Cheyenne Central Avenue location recently became the first store in Wyoming to file for a union election.
Their striking efforts join a week-long nationwide movement made by more than 3,000 Starbucks workers across more than 150 stores across the country. On Friday, June 23 Starbucks United, a nationwide of worker-lead union of Starbucks Partners, began Strike with Pride, an “unfair labor practice strike demanding that Starbucks negotiate a fair contract with union stores and stop their illegal union-busting campaign which has significantly impacted Starbucks’ LGBTQIA+ workforce.” The Seattle Roastery, which is Starbucks’ Seattle-based flagship store, was the first location to begin the strikes.

Workers United states that the company is preventing partners from putting up pride decorations in dozens of stores across the U.S. during Pride month. The union believes this is Starbuck’s latest act of “retaliation against workers,” which also includes threatening workers’ access to existing benefits, denying new benefits to union stores and firing worker leaders.
A more detailed story will be available on Cap City News later this evening.
