Starbucks Workers Start Casting Ballots For Unionization

The vote is on. Starbucks workers in three Buffalo locations have started to vote on whether or not to affiliate with a local SEIU chapter. The company tried to delay the process but the NLRB proceeded as scheduled. And if that’s not enough, this week three additional stores filed a new petition with the NLRB. We’ll discuss the Starbucks grande - or should we say venti - problem in which the company finds itself. And inflation is having both economic and political ramifications as Americans are losing buying power and the President is bleeding political capital. We’ll discuss the whys and wherefores of inflation and what that means for the business and political environments. We’ll discuss those issues and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.
