Starbucks Corp. illegally fired six employees in New York State as part of an anti-union “reign of coercion,” a US National Labor Relations Board judge ruled Wednesday.
The judge wrote that Starbucks had committed hundreds of violations of federal law at its cafes in the Buffalo and Rochester areas, “demonstrating a general disregard for the employees’ fundamental rights.”
