Organizers are seeking to make a Starbucks in Upper Kirby the coffee chain’s first union store in Houston.A Starbucks in Houston’s Upper Kirby neighborhood has become the first in the city to form a union, and the 10th in Texas, afterThe results of store’s union election were announced Thursday by the National Labor Relations Board. Eleven associates voted in favor of the union, three opposed and one ballot is being contested by Starbucks.
The Houston workers were backed by Starbucks Workers United, a collective of company employees organizing Starbucks stores across the country. Starbucks Workers United has the support of Workers United Upstate, a New York-based affiliate of the Service Employees International Union. Starbucks did not immediately respond to a request for comment on news of the Houston store’s successful effort. In July, however, the company said that it sees unions as unnecessary.
Employees, however, worry that those who publicly organizing efforts may face adverse consequences, including termination or the closure of stores. In July, shortly after the union drive went public, DeLeon said that the decision to organize had not been an easy because it could put jobs at risk, including his own.
