Ella Clark, 17, is the reason the nascent movement to unionize Starbucks is making its entrance to the Bay. “We are not trying to fight Starbucks. We are not trying to fight our manager... We just want to help Starbucks be the best company it can be.'
Starbucks employees Ella Clark, left, and Emma Orrick, both 17, are seeking to unionize the Mill Valley Starbucks at the Strawberry Village Shopping Center.
It all started when Clark, 17, saw the way the corporation was responding to a unionization campaign by a group of workers in Buffalo, New York. After filing their voting cards, employees were said to have been targeted with anti-union sentiment. “We were some of the youngest workers here when we got hired around a year ago and we immediately connected over that,” Orrick said of Clark. “So, Ella talked to me about organizing and we met with the local Workers United rep. He prepared us for what our managers would try to do.”
The high school juniors, who have coordinated with another teen in a group chat they call “Union Babes,” have a clear vision of what they want: Access to credit card tips and turning mobile orders off, wage increases, more extensive COVID pay and more viable health care plans.
