Four Alamo City locations have unionized since April, with more stores set to vote on joining in the coming weeks. SanAntonio SATX SanAntonioTX Starbucks Labor Union Texas SATXSBWU SBWorkers VentiSolidarity

Some labor experts now see those employees and the Starbucks Workers United union as lighting the way for a wider swath of workers to organize for better pay and conditions congruent with 21st-century America.

Later, Schultz emphasized that Starbucks is not abusing its employees, whom the company calls"partners," like the coal mining industry did 60 years ago. "I try to plan and work more to save," said Wayment, an 11-year employee."Our store closed for a long time during the pandemic. If you're not salaried, you're basically part-time. Only the manager is salaried."

In May, a shift supervisor was burned on the job. Davis described it as a workplace accident that left the partner with second-degree burns. Yet, the supervisor couldn't leave the store without finding her replacement, which took more than 30 minutes, according to Davis. "The labor movement has deep roots in Texas, especially in San Antonio," said Greg Casar, the Democratic nominee for the 35th Congressional district, and an advocate for a $15 minimum wage."It wasn't that long ago we had a lot more union activity and worker power in Texas."
