Campustown Starbucks workers vote to unionize

PEORIA, Ill. – Workers at one Peoria Starbucks location have officially joined the wave of others across the country voting to unionize.

Workers at the Campustown Starbucks voted Tuesday 9-2 to become a union — giving them the right to collectively bargain.

Officials say another Starbucks in the Chicago suburb of Cary also voted to unionize.

Campustown Starbucks workers began the unionization effort in February.
