Buffalo Starbucks workers claim managers intimidated them into rejecting union
December 20, 2021
While workers at one Starbucks location in Buffalo, NY, voted to join a labor union last week, at the Camp Road location, employees have written to the National Labor Relations Board complaining that they were “subjected to a massive campaign of overwhelming psychological force from the moment they publicly expressed the desire to form a union,” ultimately leading to an unsuccessful effort to unionize. “Every medium of attack was used, including one-on-one conversations, group meetings, constant surveillance, and a propaganda extravaganza about the dire consequences a union would bring to Starbucks,” the worker group stated.
