Starbucks signs National Labor Relations Board settlement
December 30, 2009
Starbucks has signed a settlement over three charges from National Labor Relations Board, according to an article in the Seattle Times.
As part of the settlement, the company has agreed to post a notice in two stores that gives an overview of the settlement and federal labor laws concerning union organizing. It also will give $42.55 in back pay to an employee who walked off his job to join a protest.
From the article:
In this batch, there were 13 original allegations. Ten were withdrawn by the IWW, said Starbucks spokeswoman Stacey Krum.In a written statement, Starbucks said it settled because it prefers to spend time focusing on growing its business instead of in "protracted litigation."
