say they are \u201cunderpaid, forced to run understaffed stores and they don\u2019t have consistent schedules they can rely on,\u201d according to the union. <\/p>\n<p>They also claim that Starbucks is not bargaining in \u201cgood faith\u201d and that management has walked away from the table during collective bargaining contract discussions. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image
