USA: Starbucks illegally retaliated against & fired 2 staff trying to organise a union, rules judge

"Fired Philly baristas won their labor case against Starbucks. Here’s how.", 12 Aug 2021

The judge, Andrew S. Gollin, earlier this summer ordered Starbucks to reinstate the workers with backpay and post fliers at its stores at Broad and Washington in South Philly and by the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania that stated the company would not violate workers’ right to organize.

It’s a victory for the baristas, who said they turned down $100,000 to drop their case, as well as for low-wage, hourly workers employed by big-box chains organizing to improve their working conditions.
