STARBUCKS has been accused of delaying tactics after the ballots at three more of its stores in the Buffalo district of New York were impounded on Wednesday.
The seizure came after the National Labour Relations Board failed to issue a decision on the global coffee chain’s pending request for a review into the vote at Walden & Anderson, Sheridan & Bailey, and French & Transit.
“This is now the second time that ballots have been impounded for Starbucks union elections in the past week,” shift supervisor at the Sheridan & Bailey store Rachel Cohen said.
