The union representing Starbucks baristas is taking aim at the coffee giant's interim chief executive, Howard Schultz, alleging his comments about an improved benefits plan amounted to illegal threats and had a 'chilling effect' on impending union votes.
The letter also claims the comments have been"parroted" by store managers and district managers, which has interfered with efforts to organize, or had a coercive effect.
"This is not a matter of Howard's choice or opinion; this is the law. Any new benefit cannot be unilaterally given to stores that voted to unionize during collective bargaining. Howard remains focused on moving quickly to build the future of Starbucks with partners together, side-by-side," Starbucks spokesman Reggie Borges said in a statement to CNBC.
Starbucks also last month filed its first charges against the union, claiming it intimidated partners andStarbucks Workers United statement to CNBC that Schultz's comments around the benefits review are"just another desperate attempt to prevent Starbucks partners from exercising our right to have a union and the right to collective bargaining."
