Starbucks accused unionized workers in South Carolina of kidnapping the manager, after they demanded better working conditions in their store.
The video shows workers confronting their manager with the letter in the store as the manager is, the manager asks if they can leave, and the workers say “yes.”
But after the manager pushed employees and exited the store, the manager contacted the local police and filed kidnapping and assault charges against the workers. Now, the company has closed the store down, suspended the workers indefinitely and forced them to take paid time off. They have also banned workers from entering any Starbucks location.
The union condemned the charges and store closure, saying that the moves clearly constitute union busting. “These charges are false and absurd. The Anderson Starbucks workers were demanding better working conditions in their store and in no way, shape, or form, did they attempt or prevent the manager from leaving the store,” the union wrote in a press release. “Starbucks has put the workers on paid time off, suspending them indefinitely, and banned them from visiting any Starbucks location. Stabucks also closed down the store.
Starbucks Workers United is filing charges of illegal union busting against the company, which has closedstores and fired dozens of pro-union employees. Starbucks is currently being prosecuted by the National Labor Relations Board for over 200 unfair labor practice charges related to the company’s campaign to shut down the union effort in Buffalo, New York, where the movement began.
