Starbucks Moves To Shut Down Its Remaining Stores In Ithaca, New York–One Year After They Unionized
Ithaca once could boast that all of its Starbucks stores were unionized. Soon they will all be shut down. Thomas Whitehead Just over a year ago Ithaca, New York became the first city in the United States in which all its Starbucks locations–a total of three–were unionized.
Now, Starbucks has said it will close two locations within the city at the end of this month. Starbucks previously closed one store in Ithaca in June 2022, meaning all three of the unionized locations will be shut down.
The shutdowns will leave a total of 38 employees out of work, according to a representative for Starbucks Workers United, an organization dedicated to unionizing Starbucks locations across the U.S. Ithaca, a city of over 30,000 residents, is probably best known as the home of Cornell University, with its 25,000 students.
