Keywords: Starbucks; union; organizing; union-busting; NLRB; labor law; employer opposition EN Starbucks union organizing union-busting NLRB labor law employer opposition 36 42 7 09/20/22 20220901 NES 220901 The first half of 2022 has been a remarkable period for Starbucks workers trying to form a union. In addition, workers in over 300 stores (out of almost 9,000 corporate-owned stores nationwide) have petitioned for National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) elections in thirty-five states, potentially covering 7,000 workers. However, since the start of the union campaign, Starbucks HQ has required store managers to spend more time working on the floor and has imported outside managers and corporate employees into stores during election campaigns so that workers have more supervision. Thus, full-time union organizers do not organize workers at Starbucks; workers (or "partners", as Starbucks calls its workers) organize workers.
