“The timing of it all is also pretty sketch and quite on the nose.” On the nose, because workers say the closure was announced just days after they got a date on the books for their first bargaining session with the company – scheduled later this month.
The Edgewater coffee shop, located at Bryn Mawr and Winthrop avenues, is set to close at the end of this month. Starbucks says the location is closing because of ongoing safety issues the company could not solve, but organizers and their supporters say the shutdown is a tactic to weaken the union.Employee and union supporter Carlos Toral says the store does have problems with safety, including incidents of harassment or even assault on a regular basis.
Around the country, Starbucks has temporarily or permanently closed locations that unionized or that organizers say were interested in unionizing, including in Buffalo, New York; Kansas City, Missouri; Seattle, and now in Chicago. Starbucks has faced a raft of complaints from workers and the National Labor Relations Board over alleged retaliation against pro-union workers and locations, which the company has consistently denied.
