Workers on Fr. Starbucks in Mesa, Arizona, voted to form a union by hitting a network of coffee shops as it faces a broad organizational push from company-owned coffee shops.

Employees of the cafe, located on Power Road and Baseline Road in Mesa, voted 25 to 3 in favor of joining unions within Workers United, a branch of the International Union of Officials.

It is now the third place in the company Starbucks, which voted in favor of the union, and the first outside the Buffalo area, New York.

To date, more than 100 Starbucks seats have applied for union elections, all in the last six months and doubled in the last month alone. victory in Buffalo. These cafes represent a small proportion of Starbucks ’U.S. presence, which includes nearly 9,000 restaurant-owned restaurants, but this is a sign that in the restaurant industry there may be an increase in the historically low level of union membership.

A second store in Mesa, Arizona, has also applied for union election. Ballots from the NLRB were sent out on Friday afternoon and are due to be received by March 18th.

Now the regional director of the National Labor Council will have to certify the ballots, and this process could take up to a week. The union then faces its next task: negotiating a contract with Starbucks. Labor law does not require employers and unions to enter into collective agreements. In addition, workers who have lost faith in the union can apply for revocation of certification a year later, putting time to negotiate.

After Starbucks employees in their Elmwood, NY, won the first employee union of a company-owned company, the head of Starbucks in North America Rosan Williams wrote the letter to all the baristas of the United States, stating that the company would be traded “in good faith.”

Jefferies analyst Andy Berisch wrote Thursday in a note for clients that merging into unions does not seem to be a serious financial risk for Starbucks in terms of large increases in hourly wages or payment requirements. However, the chain could damage its reputation if mishandled, he said.

Starbucks has already faced accusations of disrupting unions from Starbucks Workers United. The company has denied these claims. Her opposition to the union’s efforts included sending executives to Buffalo and Mesa stores.

“It’s hard to imagine this problem turning into a whirlpool of negative PR for SBUX, but it certainly poses a short-term“ major risk ”for stocks that has been weak lately,” Barysh wrote.

Shares of Starbucks have fallen 11% in the past 12 months, bringing its market value to $ 106 billion.

Three more Starbucks branches in the Buffalo area voted in favor of creating a union, but Starbucks’ appeals to the National Labor Council delayed the vote count. The counting of Mass was also postponed for the same reason. Workers were originally expected to hear the results on February 16th.
