A group of fired Starbucks employees celebrate the result of a vote to unionize one of the coffee company's locations on Tuesday, June 7, 2022, in Memphis, Tenn. The so-called "Memphis Seven" jumped for joy, hugged each other and wept after a count held by the National Labor Relations Board showed an 11-3 vote in favor of unionization of a Starbucks in Memphis. Starbucks said they were fired for violating company policies, but the seven say they were let go in retaliation for unionization efforts. (AP Photo/Adrian Sainz)
