Starbucks files unfair labor charges against union organizers for 'disturbing behavior'

The charges filed are against Workers United organizers at Starbucks locations in Denver, Colorado, and Phoenix, Arizona, which have "unlawfully restrained and coerced partners in the exercise of their rights" for over the past six months, according to documents sent to the National Labor Relations Board and obtained by FOX Business.

"Our partners have been facing this type of behavior since the fall of last year, and we have seen not only the volume of that behavior increase but also the consistency of it, the intensity of it, the targeting of it and also the acceleration of it…"CLICK HERE TO READ MORE ON FOX BUSINESS In Phoenix, Starbucks claims organizers also blocked the ingress and egress of a store on East Mayo Boulevard, while also "surrounding the store and pounding on the windows."

He also hinted that more charges could be filed in other areas of the country. Anywhere where there is "egregious behavior," the company will take "appropriate actions and steps to protect our partners and their voices," according to Jones. Meanwhile, Workers United told FOX Business Wednesday that "it takes a lot of gall for a company that's launched one of the most aggressive & intense anti-union campaigns in modern history to file these charges."
