National Labor Relations Board Administrative Law Judge Geoffrey Carter ordered Starbucks to reopen “within a reasonable period of time” two Ithaca locations that closed after employees formed a union, stating that its move to “chill unionism” violated the National Labor Relations Act.
Carter ruled on Friday that the May 2023 permanent closures of the Ithaca Commons and Meadow Street Starbucks locations and failure to bargain with the union were unlawful, as the board found the stores were closed for “antiunion reasons” and in an effort to quell unionizations elsewhere.
The NLRB similarly ordered on July 6, 2023, that the third Ithaca Starbucks location on College Avenue — which closed on June 10, 2022 — must reopen “immediately.” The store remains closed.
Discussions surrounding the Ithaca Commons and Meadow Street store closures occurred only a few months after the stores unionized. On April 8, 2022, all three Ithaca stores voted to unionize. In the summer of 2022, Starbucks regional leadership began weighing the closure of the Meadow Street and Ithaca Commons locations, citing high turnover and low profitability metrics, according to the NLRB ruling.

Meanwhile, the Starbucks stores should just open with one self-service kiosk which will dispense only one-size, one-flavor coffee.
Isn’t it great when a “public servant”… Emphasis on “servant”… Orders a citizen to do anything…
We are rapidly reaching a point where obeying and complying is not an option.
With one operating hour per day.

Coffee machines and their BUZZZZZZZ sound ,LOL
They’ve been ignoring the NRLB dictate to reopen the first one that was closed for over a year now.
I would continue to ignore those jokers.
So will the Starbucks owners continue to vote for liberals?
Ordering businesses to open businesses more left insanity
But that’s not tyranny at all/industrial strength sarcasm
just wait till kamala orders doctors and nurses to work 12 hour days
I am not, in general, against unions. But the field must be perfectly level. This story is an example of how the field is no longer level.
Employees should be able to form a union for whatever reason. Then the employer should be able to refuse to bargain with the union (and deal with a strike) or even close the business.
Freedom should work both ways.
I think this might be up your alley.
Chances are Good.

Many already are working 12 hour shifts.
Starbucks needs to just say no. The NLRB doesn’t have that authority.
Starbucks should schedule these stores for remodeling, which could take quite a while.
Huh? How does that work?
Come to the bankrupt owners house and make him go to work at gunpoint?
Galt’s Gulch here we come.
Or shoot it out.
