Employees at a Twin Falls Starbucks may be looking to unionize.

The 1928 Bridgeview Boulevard employees plan on filing a formal petition for a union election with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) election in the near future, and are joining the Starbucks Workers United movement, which already includes workers at over 175 locations across 28 states.

CBS 2 News reports, it would be the Gem State’s first Starbucks to make the move.

In a letter e-mailed early Thursday morning to Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz and signed by the store’s employees, Cottonwood Heights workers say they are forming the union not out of spite, but out of respect for all baristas across the country.
