The Seattle Times reports that the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has upheld three out of four administrative law judge decisions that Starbucks had appealed to the body.
According to the story, “The decision involved stores in New York, where the judge said work rules were unfairly imposed on employees who supported the union. The coffee chain was ordered to give back jobs to three former workers and compensate them for lost earnings. The company also must post notices informing employees of their labor-organizing rights.”
The NLRB did support Starbucks’ position that one particular employee should not be given back her job; the company said it is exploring the possibility of an appeal on the cases it lost.
