The challenges must be resolved by the labor agency’s regional director in the coming days or weeks before there is a result. Starbucks responded to the union campaign with a sense of urgency. Several workers who support the union said they found the presence of these officials intimidating and, at times, surreal. Workers involved in the union campaign and a union lawyer indicated that they might challenge the result at the store where workers voted down the union. Neither of those campaigns succeeded, but workers are unionized at Starbucks stores owned by other companies that operate them under licensing agreements.
