Another Philly Starbucks launched unionizing effort on strike day

Workers at the West Philly Starbucks walked out as part of the nationwide "Red Cup Rebellion" strikes and filed a petition to unionize with the National Labor Relations Board.

The Starbucks at 39th and Walnut Streets was temporarily closed Thursday after baristas walked out of work and picketed outside the store. That location was not unionized as of last week but has now filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board seeking to join Workers United.
