STARBUCKS ILLEGALLY CLOSED UNIONIZED ITHACA STORE, JUDGE RULES (huh?)

Ithaca, New York - Starbucks broke US law when it closed a unionized store in Ithaca, a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) judge ruled on Thursday.

Administrative law judge Arthur Amchan ruled that Starbucks closed its College Avenue café, located near the Cornell University campus, "in large part to discourage unionization efforts in Ithaca and elsewhere."

The coffee chain announced it was shutting down the College Avenue store just two months after all three of its locations in Ithaca voted to unionize. This year, the company said it would close the other two stores as well.

Amchan called for Starbucks to reopen the store immediately, reinstate fired workers with back pay, and post a notice about workers' rights at its cafés around the US.

This judge is a incompetent paid union stooge. No sympathy for Starbucks. You made your bed, lie in it.

You WILL reopen. You WILL pay $16 an hour!

What does he mean they “illegally closed”?
Aren’t the hours of operation up to management and/or franchise owner?
That judge is over stepping his authority.
He must be owned by the union in some way.
A ‘Made’ man, if you will.

The National Labor Relations Court has this power routinely in a case like this. When unions are getting your workers to decide to unionize and be represented by the union you, as an employer, are very limited in what you can do to discourage the workforce seeking representation. You can’t shut down branches picking union representation while keeping non-union branches open.

I don’t like it, but for fifty years at least this has been a hard and fast rule.

If the judge orders enough customers to buy overpriced coffee this could work.

How ‘bout it, your honor?

Easy fix- Pay someone to torch the place , collect insurance and have it pinned on angry union workers. Win, win, win!

How many of Starbucks stores in the U.S. have been unionized?

Ithaca is a beautiful but radical town. Best to stay away.

Federal law requires all kinds of advanced notices
and negotiations prior to taking such action.

I have no idea. The percentage is not an issue with the NLRB just the rights of the workers to vote themselves (and their co-workers in the same “shop”) into a union for representation.
