(Reuters) -The Strategic Organizing Center, a coalition of North American labor unions, is seeking three board seats at Starbucks (NASDAQ:), people familiar with matter told Reuters on Tuesday.
Starbucks did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Last week, workers at hundreds of Starbucks stores walked off their jobs during a key promotional event demanding improved staffing and schedules.
The Wall Street Journal first reported the news and said a labor group was seeking representation on the coffee giant’s board, aggravating the battle on pay and working conditions at the company.
