Quick Glance: Starbucks Fails Labor Law by Banning Pro-Union Buttons, DC Circuit Ruling
- A divided U.S. appeals court panel ruled that the manager of a Seattle Starbucks store violated federal labor law by instructing a barista not to distribute union buttons during her paid breaks.
- The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit stated that while the manager in 2022 specifically warned the worker not to give buttons to customers, her comments could also discourage other workers from distributing union paraphernalia, even among themselves.
- Starbucks spokeswoman expressed disappointment with the ruling, emphasizing that it involves a single store. On a national level, Starbucks continues to focus on supporting managers to ensure respect for partners' rights to organize, freely associate, and engage in other lawful activities.
- Starbucks and Workers United agreed in February to establish a 'framework' to guide organizing and collective bargaining, potentially resolving many pending legal disputes. The union has accused Starbucks of numerous labor law violations, including interrogating and retaliating against union supporters.
