    It would be better to represent the number of workers in the union as a percentage of all starbucks employees

      383,000 US workers in 2021. So a little less than half a percent.

        I guess if it is so small of a percentage then absolute numbers are actually better

          definitely is more inspiring this way. It really is an impressive amount of growth from zero and will be a significant number if stores continue to unionize.

            Union movements tend to snowball, rate of new membership and election victories is a good sign of continued growth, especially when it's exponential like this.

        half a percent in 6 months is extraordinary compared to the basically 0 percent in the last few decades

    Wow I haven't felt anything even approaching legitimate hope like this since, well, Bernie got fucked out of Nevada.

    Once they reach a certain threshold of unionization, will Starbucks have coffees which aren’t dark roast?
