Despite Starbucks’ appeal on Monday asking for a delay in a union vote, Starbucks workers at Buffalo locations will start receiving their ballots this week and the NLRB's regional office in Buffalo will count the votes on December 9th. These pro-union workers said that they want greater say in how stores are run and how much workers are being paid. Starbucks’ North American president, Rossann Williams, wrote a letter to employees urging them to vote no in Buffalo. One expert points out that even if the employees at the three stores vote in favor of unionization, there's no guarantee they will get a contract.
