Union Workers Accuse Starbucks of Violating Federal Labor Law

Starbucks Workers United, the union representing Starbucks employees, filed a complaint Friday with the National Labor Relations Board against the coffee company for alleged violations at its location in Paso Robles, the union said in a news release.

The complaint alleges violations of federal labor law, accusing the managers at the coffee company’s Creston and Sherwood location of overtly discouraging union activity.
