LINCOLN — Workers at a north Lincoln Starbucks store are among thousands nationwide who are seeking to unionize.

Employees at the store at 5040 N. 26th St. have filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board seeking to unionize as part of the group Starbucks Workers United.

Workers at more than 300 stores nationwide have successfully unionized, and the Lincoln store is the first one in Nebraska to attempt to do so.

The workers at the store also sent a letter to Starbucks CEO Laxman Narasimhan in which they listed their reasons for unionizing, which include inconsistent scheduling, being short-staffed and working with faulty and defective equipment.

I hope this is the start of many locations in Nebraska going union!
