Seattle Starbucks Votes to Unionize; California Chevron Workers Go on Strike
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Workers at a Seattle Starbucks unanimously voted to unionize Tuesday.
It's the first unionized shop in the coffee chain's hometown and is just
a 10-minute drive from Starbucks' Seattle headquarters. Senator Bernie
Sanders recently called on returning Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz to end
the company's "massive union-busting campaign."

In other labor news, over 500 Chevron employees in Richmond, California,
are on strike after failing to agree on a contract that would provide
safer working conditions, better wages and benefits. Chevron posted
$15.6 billion in profits last year.
