Starbucks accused of union-busting tactics in New York as recognition drive continues
STARBUCKS has been accused of union busting tactics as workers in a number of its New York stores continue their fight for recognition.
The global coffee chain has deployed top executives to turn up at stores in Buffalo, where a unionisation campaign is underway, where they are pulling staff into “intimidating one-to-one meetings,” it was claimed on Tuesday.
It is reported to have employed union-busting firm Little Mendelson to lead mandatory “anti-union meetings” for all workers.
