A federal labor judge has ordered Starbucks to reinstate seven fired workers after finding that the company violated labor laws “hundreds of times” during a unionization campaign in Buffalo, New York.

The decision issued late Wednesday by Administrative Law Judge Michael Rosas of the National Labor Relations Board requires Starbucks to post a 13-page notice listing its labor violations and workers’ rights in all U.S. stores.

The order also requires Starbucks’ interim CEO Howard Schultz to read or be present at a reading of employees’ rights and distribute a recording of the reading to all of Starbucks’ U.S. employees. Rosas cited Starbucks’ “egregious and widespread misconduct” in his 200-page decision, which consolidated 35 unfair labor practice complaints at 21 Buffalo-area stores filed by Starbucks Workers United, the labor union organizing Starbucks’ stores. Rosas found that Starbucks had threatened employees, spied on them and more strictly enforced dress codes and other policies.

BOYCOTT STARBUCKS AND MAKE THEM PAY FOR VIOLATIONS AGAINST UNION ORGANIZATION

I’d fire them again. The government can’t force me to employ someone, especially employees who are trying to kill my business. Unions are a cancer on labor.

Isn’t Schultz like a big time left winger…. I don’t understand why he wouldn’t want all his employees to be union members

That’s a pretty solid logo

Who would like to work selling bad coffee?

Labor judge: Starbucks violated worker rights in union fightA federal labor judge has ordered Starbucks to reinstate fired seven workers, reopen a shuttered location and stop infringing on workers’ rights after finding that the company violated labor laws 'hundreds of times' during a unionization campaign in Buffalo, New York. That’s not a ruling, that’s a magistrate on a soapbox. Appeal, hopefully you will get a real Judge next time. Some of us like our job at Starbucks. We are told when hired it is a part time job with medical, free college and the ability to promote. I wish we could here more about that!
