How can they bust unions like that and just getting told to reopen? Let them pay the yearly income of these stores as a fine to the unions fund instead!
The NLRB General Counsel is seeking an order for offers of re-employment for affected employees and reimbursement for loss of pay, along with the stores reopening for business.
The goal is that they reopen with the same unionized employees, plus back pay. That would be a huge win for the union.
That is not a win in my view. That only means that they have to pay what they had to pay anyway the store were open. That’s like literally no fine. It was worth it for them to try to close the store. At worst they need to reopen the store and continue. What is the backpay of the baristas? 4 worker each 30k/year? That does not hurt them. And you know this because they just did it and will do it again. Where is the fine that hurts so much, that they do not dare to try to bust other locations again and again? The fact that they continue this behavior tells you everything you need to know.
Except they were generating zero revenue during the time they were closed. That is pretty close to a fine.
I do also think they should be fined for preventing a union from forming, but having them pay back wages would be more of a fine than most places would be fined because there are basically no penalties for this kind of behavior.
No no no, let them keep them closed. When the unions spread like wildfire we can just be happy with them being out of business entirely 👍
Mmmm the death of Starbucks. What a lovely dream.

Won’t somebody think of the shareholders?
Fuck all of these union busting capitalist pigs
Did that title take anyone else a few tries to understand?
Like I feel like it’d be easier to understand if they put “reopen stores that the labor board finds” or something
Labor Board calls on Starbucks to re-open 23 stores - Accused of closing to block union organization
Sucks to suck Starbuck.
Hahaha
How does this work with franchises? Are these ones operated directly by Starbucks?
