The US coffee company, Starbucks refuses to bargain with unions.
The federal Labor Relations Board (NLRB) decided on the 30th of last month that Starbucks’ refusal to bargain with store union members violated labor laws.
The NLRB ruled that Starbucks’ refusal to negotiate was a labor law violation by a unanimous decision of three members that day and ordered Starbucks subsidiary Siren Retail to negotiate with the union of the high-end store Seattle Reserve Roastery.
On the 17th of last month, which was “Red Cup Day,” the Starbucks union held a strike at about 100 stores in the United States demanding better treatment, including a pay rise.
