In early February, seven union activists in Memphis were all fired on the same day, “including five of the six members of the union organizing committee,” according to the labor board.
Starbucks said the employees were let go because they violated "numerous" company policies by reopening a store after closing time and inviting non-employees to come inside and move throughout the store. The employees used the store to do an interview with a local television station about their unionizing effort.
Under the National Labor Relations Act, the labor board is allowed to seek injunctions against employers and unions in an attempt to "stop unfair labor practices where, due to the passage of time, the normal Board processes are likely to be inadequate to effectively remedy the alleged violations." However, a Starbucks spokesperson told FOX Business that the "allegations contained in the filing by the NLRB Regional Director are false, and we look forward to presenting our evidence when the allegations are adjudicated."
As of Tuesday evening, there are 128 open Starbucks-related unfair labor practice cases spread across 20 NLRB regions and 19 states, according to data from the labor board.
