1:49:50Now PlayingStarbucks committed "hundreds of unfair labor practices" during unionization efforts at stores in the Buffalo, New York, area, a National Labor Relations Board judge has ruled.
RELATEDHoward Schultz, CEO of Starbucks interview
In his more than 200-page order detailing Starbucks' violations of labor laws, NLRB Administrative Law Judge Michael Rosas cited the company's "egregious and widespread misconduct demonstrating a general disregard for the employees’ fundamental rights."
The ruling late Wednesday consolidated 35 unfair labor practice complaints at 21 stores – 20 in or around Buffalo and one in Rochester – filed by Starbucks Workers United, the labor union organizing Starbucks’ stores, from 2021 to 2022.
Rosas determined that Starbucks illegally disciplined and fired employees "in response to union activity." He also found that the company threatened workers, spied on them and enforced dress codes and other company policies "more stringently against union supporters."
