Starbucks has been found to have made illegal moves in its fight against the union, including firing and suspending workers for organizing in Arizona, just one day before CEO Kevin Johnson announced that he’s stepping down.
For the first time in Starbucks workers’ union campaign, the National Labor Relations Board has found that the company has taken illegal moves in its fight against the union, including retaliation against workers for organizing in Phoenix, Arizona.that the company fired one worker, Alyssa Sanchez, while suspending another Laila Dalton, for their union organizing activity.
The company suspended Dalton and fired Sanchez “to discourage employees from engaging in these or other concerted activities,” NLRB regional director Cornele A. Overstreet wrote, adding that the company’s actions against Dalton shows it “has been interfering with, restraining, and coercing employees in the exercise of the rights guaranteed” by federal labor laws.
Managers illegally surveilled workers and suspended Dalton for previously unenforced rules, the complaint said. Ifis able to confirm the labor board’s allegations, then Starbucks will have to hold meetings and post notices informing employees of their legal right to form a union at the Phoenix location. It will also have to reimburse Sanchez for lost wages.
“Today is the first step in holding Starbucks accountable for its unacceptable behavior during the unionizing efforts in our store and stores around the country,” said Bill Whitmire, a barista at Dalton and Sanchez’s location. “Laila and Alyssa were traumatized and their hope is that no other Partner EVER has to go through what they have gone through.”
