"Starbucks is getting desperate every bit it loses this state of war in battle after battle, because we—the Starbucks partners—continue to organize and fight for a real voice within the company. These charges are only the latest example of that desperation."

A second complaint against Starbucks related to the aforementioned location was recently filed, and a hearing earlier a NLRB administrative police force gauge is fix for June.

The marriage fight within Starbucks has increasingly intensified as more 200 of the coffee chain's 9,000 company-operated stores in the U.Due south. have filed for union elections. More than xx stores voted for unionization while two stores voted confronting unionizing.

"Nosotros have seen a consistent design of disturbing behavior from some union organizers that has increased and become more aggressive since last Fall," Williams asserted, later adding: "We're [filing the complaint] to protect the physical prophylactic and emotional wellbeing of our partners and to make information technology very clear that the beliefs we're seeing from some union organizers is not acceptable and we won't tolerate information technology."

Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz recently returned to lead Starbucks on an interim footing, telling partners in a town hall meeting that companies across the land were "being assaulted in many ways by the threat of unionization" while also acknowledging that the company fabricated "some mistakes during COVID."
