Starbucks takes anti-union case against NLRB to US Supreme Court
Starbucks union
STARBUCKS was at the US Supreme Court today seeking to weaken the National Labour Relations Board (NLRB’s) ability to intervene against companies accused of violating workers’ rights.
The court case began on the same day that company bosses met Starbucks Workers United reps to begin their first bargaining session in almost a year.
Workers at 420 company-owned Starbucks outlets across the United States have voted to unionise since 2021, but not one venue has yet secured a recognition agreement.
