US EditionFive Starbucks shops in Ontario ratify first collective agreements
- Employees at five Starbucks stores across Ontario, including those in Ajax, Kitchener-Waterloo, and Toronto, approved their inaugural collective bargaining agreements in 2025.
- The ratifications follow a challenging unionization effort in Canada, marked by Starbucks closing its only unionized Vancouver shop and complaints about threats to union supporters.
- The British Columbia Labour Relations Board found Starbucks had legitimate reasons to close the Vancouver store but wrongfully threatened an employee involved in union activity.
- Starbucks Workers United started its union drive in 2021 in Buffalo, New York, and now represents about 11,000 workers across 570 stores.
- The union considers these Ontario agreements a significant milestone in expanding collective bargaining at Starbucks amid ongoing union challenges in Canada.
