Administrative Law Judge Michael A. Rosas of the National Labor Relations Board ruled the popular coffee company Starbucks committed “egregious and widespread” violations of federal law when it openly campaigned to halt unionization by its employees. He also ordered the company to give back pay and damages to the workers who had been part of national organizing efforts.
Rosas’ ruling, an opinion of more than 200 pages, concluded that Starbucks showed “a general disregard for the employees’ fundamental rights.”
He placed a number of requirements on Starbucks, including that the company notify workers that the “National Labor Relations Board found that we violated Federal labor law,” that they reopen a Buffalo, New York, store, and reinstate a number of workers who had been fired for unionizing activities.
According to Union Election Data service, Starbucks, with its 281 locations, has been a target for unionization for years.
