San Diego Starbucks supervisor pushes to dissolve union after holiday walkout

A San Diego Starbucks shift supervisor is leading an effort to disband Starbucks Workers United at his store, claiming workers were excluded from bargaining decisions and that an open-ended Christmas strike left hours in limbo. He gathered signatures from about 64% of roughly 16–18 employees to trigger a vote to remove the union, with the petition now before the National Labor Relations Board. He says he supports unions in principle but objects to perceived missteps, and he has joined a broader coalition advocating union transparency.
