A Starbucks shift supervisor in San Diego, Joe Emmenegger, is pushing to disband the union at his store after claiming workers, including supervisors, were excluded from key decisions like the recent open-ended Christmas strike. Emmenegger gathered signatures from about 64% of employees to force a vote on removing the union, citing stress and lost hours during the strike. He emphasizes he supports unions but opposes how this one operated. The petition is now with the National Labor Relations Board, while the union continues its national contract battle with Starbucks.
