After 3-day strike, Marysville WA Starbucks workers move to unionize
MARYSVILLE — Starbucks workers at a Marysville store have moved to unionize following a three-day strike in protest of working conditions.
Strike organizer Katie McCoy said she and another employee walked out of the Lakewood Crossing store on Thursday night after being short-staffed.
McCoy said she was asked to stay past closing time and run the store with her coworker, who is almost nine months pregnant.
“It becomes really impossible to run the floor” with two people, said McCoy, 18. “I work doubles quite frequently, and am also a full-time student.”
