minus-square@Sharpiemarkerlink25•5 months ago The new framework put forth by the NLRB only went into effect in late 2023 (November/December). It requires a majority of employees to want to form a union. The NLRB intends to force Starbucks to reopen the 23 stores they closed. This news is from last month, so it’s still pretty recent. I agree that when the penalty is a fine, it’s just the cost of doing business, but it appears that the NLRB are attempting to go another route.
