Labor board: Starbucks broke law in Everett, Seattle store closures

EVERETT — A shuttered Starbucks on Evergreen Way should be open and serving coffee, according to the National Labor Relations Board.

In a complaint earlier this month, the board’s Seattle office accused Starbucks of closing stores last year to discourage union activity.

The Everett store at 11802 Evergreen Way is one of 23 locations across the United States, including seven in Seattle, that the labor relations board asked Starbucks to reopen “immediately.” The complaint, penned by the Seattle-based regional director, also demanded Starbucks rehire all affected workers, compensate them with backpay and pay all search-for-work expenses.

The board is asking Starbucks to reopen local stores at:

• 11802 Evergreen Way, Everett;
• 6417 Roosevelt Way NE, Seattle;
• 400 Pine St., Seattle;
• 1600 E. Olive Way, Seattle;
• 505 Fifth Ave. S, Seattle;
• 101 Broadway E, Seattle;
• 9999 Holman Road NE, Seattle; and
• 2300 S. Jackson St., Seattle.

One would think they would see that anti-union activity is more costly than simply employing union workers. Aristus Dec 2023 #1
