Starbucks workers’ efforts to unionize finds success in Buffalo, New York

The first for any Starbucks-owned store, the victory could inspire unionization efforts across the company's 8,000 outlets in the US

Starbucks workers have voted to unionize at a store in Buffalo, New York, over the company's objections, pointing the way to a new labor model for the 50-year-old coffee giant.

The National Labor Relations Board said Thursday that workers voted 19-8 in favor of a union. The board is still counting votes for two other stores.
