What’s the advantage to having a union specific to Starbucks rather than a broader one for batistas or even hospitality in general?

Some unions are good. Some unions suck. Once you unionize, there’s no take-baksies. You’re stuck with it. So say you unionize. It sucks. You want to go back to the old way. Or even say you don’t want to unionize. An advantage of unionizing per store for Starbucks employees is that you can transfer to a different location. (there’s lots of them). Whereas if it was company or trade wide, you’re looking for a new job.
But there’s more. Companies don’t like unions. And its not uncommon when some locations unionize for the company to give additional benefits to non-union stores. It both incentivizes these locations not to unionize, while also sticking it to the union stores ie “Oh look at the benefits these stores get, but its not part of your union contract so sorry not sorry”
