United States Senator Kirsten Gillibrand will be back home in the Capital Region, meeting with Starbucks workers in support of their efforts to form a union.
Last month, the Latham Plaza Starbucks became the first Capital Region store to launch a union campaign.
A week ago, the Stuyvesant Plaza Starbucks followed in their footsteps.
Sen. Gillibrand will be at the Crowne Plaza-Desmond Hotel in Colonie at 4 p.m.
