In June, the Starbucks unionization wave reached the US South. The most decisive victory in the region came at a store in a deeply conservative corner of South Carolina, the state with the lowest union density in the country.

That store was the Starbucks off I-85 in Anderson, South Carolina. Notching the first unanimous win south of the Mason-Dixon, workers there voted 18-0 to unionize and have since gone on strike twice, demanding better pay, equipment, and staffing. The company isn’t budging, and neither are the workers.

In a new escalation on August 1, workers handed their store manager a list of demands and filmed the interaction as she made a phone call about it. According to the Anderson Independent Mail, it was the manager’s first day at the store. She then filed a report with the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office claiming the workers had prevented her from leaving the store and that one had assaulted her. A viral TikTok video uploaded by Starbucks Workers United and an audio recording of the meeting seem to indicate otherwise.
