Twenty-two workers at the Dunbar location voted to join the USW in February, joining two other Metro Vancouver Starbucks — Clayton Heights in Surrey and Valley Centre in Langley — in beginning negotiations for a collective agreement. Around the same time, workers at non-unionized shops in B.C. were given pay increases.

oh so they actually can afford to pay their staff more.....
