Business Highlights: Starbucks Union Vote, Poll On Economy

Starbucks workers at a store in Buffalo, New York, voted to unionize on Thursday, a first for the 50yearold coffee retailer in the U.S. and the latest sign that the labor movement is stirring after decades of decline. The National Labor Relations Board said Thursday that workers voted 198 in favor of a union at one of three locations in Buffalo. If the labor board certifies the vote, it would be the first for any Starbucksowned store in the U.S. to unionize. A second store rejected the union in a vote of 128. The results of a third store could not be determined because of several challenged votes. Starbucks has actively fought unionization at its stores for decades.
