A federal labor judge has ordered Starbucks to reinstate seven fired workers, reopen a shuttered location and stop infringing on workers’ rights after finding that the company violated labor laws “hundreds of times.”

after finding that the company violated labor laws “hundreds of times” during a unionization campaign in Buffalo, New York.

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. The order requires Starbucks to reinstate seven workers who were fired for their union activity and provide financial restitution for 27 other workers for violations like refusing to grant time off. It also requires Starbucks to bargain with the union at multiple stores and reopen a location in Cheektowaga, New York, that was closed amid significant union activity.

Starbucks said the individuals in the case were fired for clear violations of the company’s policies, and not because of union activities.“This decision results from months of tireless organizing by workers in cafes across the country demanding better working conditions in the face of historical, monumental, and now deemed illegal union-busting,” said Michelle Eisen, a Starbucks barista and union organizer in Buffalo.

If a company violated the workers rights, why do the workers still want to work for that company?

If you don't like the pay or benefits work somewhere else. The entitlement is getting out of hand.

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!
