Two more Starbucks locations in Connecticut are seeking to unionize, as a nationwide organized labor movement continues.

Baristas at the Starbucks on Litchfield Turnpike in Woodbridge and on Dixwell Avenue in Hamden have filed for an election with the National Labor Relations Board to join Starbucks Workers United.

Starbucks Workers United has about 10,500 members across the country and has won more than 95 elections so far this year. A Starbucks in West Hartford was the first in the state to unionize in 2022. 

Nationally, union representatives are working to create a national template for labor contract negotiations with the coffee chain.

Baristas say they are seeking better wages, racial and gender equity, and fair schedules.
