Union organizers at the Campustown Starbucks react to the store's 9-2 vote in favor of establishing a union.

Baristas at the Campustown Starbucks location are unionizing.

Employees voted 9 to 2 at the Peoria Labor Temple Tuesday to form a union under the umbrella of Workers United, an affiliate of the Service Employees International Union.

The Peoria Starbucks location is the second in Illinois to organize under a growing unionization movement at Starbucks locations across the country. Starbucks workers in Cary also voted Tuesday to organize into a union.

This story will be updated.
