Vernon Starbucks Moves To Become Second CT Shop To Unionize

VERNON, CT — The Vernon Starbucks is making a move to become the second coffee shop in the chain to unionize in Connecticut.

A Twitter account dedicated to the mass Starbucks unionization efforts across the nation has posted a letter signed by 15 staff members at the Talcottville Road Starbucks announcing their intent to form a union, citing the same reasons as others — "inadequate staffing, pay inequity, and lack of breaks."

"Another CT store joins the movement," the Tweet proclaimed.

In April, workers at the Starbucks at Corbin’s Corner in West Hartford because the first in Connecticut to unionize. An election to vote on the issue is on tap for June 9.
