Starbucks is asking the White House for a meeting after President Joe Biden met with an organizer who is helping its coffee shops unionize.
Starbucks is waging a campaign to curb the spread of unionization across its coffee shops. Workers United has filed more than 100 unfair labor practices complaints against the company, alleging illegal retaliation and harassment. The National Labor Relations Board has filed at least three lawsuits against Starbucks. The company has denied those claims but has filed two of its own complaints against Workers United.on investments in its stores and workers.
"These benefits, including ones we've demanded since the beginning of our campaign, are a response to our organizing efforts and we should celebrate the hard work that partners who stood up to [CEO] Howard Schultz's bullying put in to make this happen," the Starbucks Workers United Organizing Committee said in a statement to CNBC on Tuesday."Many of the proposed benefits have been proposed at the bargaining table in Buffalo.
Schultz himself publicly flirted with running for president as an independent during the run-up to the 2020 election.
