Bus tour featuring local leaders, alderpersons making stops to promote Starbucks unionization
CHICAGO (CBS) -- Local leaders and alderpersons are making their first stop in Chicago for a bus tour to promote unionizing at Starbucks.
Workers, allies, and community supporters want to educate customers about Starbucks' allegations of union busting.
They'll also talk about their fight for a first contract as they push for Starbucks to bargain with them.
The group made a stop at Workers United on Ashland starting around 7 a.m.
They say more than 8,500 workers at 300-plus stores have successfully organized a union.
