NLRB Record Starbucks — "Biggest Violator of Labor Law in Modern History"

As of early 2024, NLRB regional offices had docketed 771 open or settled unfair-labor-practice charges against Starbucks or its law firm. Administrative law judges found violations in 60 of 61 transferred cases. By December 2024 over 100 decisions had ordered relief, including reinstatement for dozens of illegally fired workers. The NLRB cited the company's "egregious and widespread misconduct."
