Judge Rules Starbucks Must Offer to Rehire Fired Union Organizers in Memphis
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Tennessee, a federal judge has ordered the coffee giant Starbucks to
offer to rehire seven workers who were fired after they led a campaign
to unionize a store in Memphis. Since Starbucks workers in Buffalo
organized the chain's first U.S. union last year, Starbucks has faced
dozens of unfair labor practice charges, including over 200 violations
of federal workers' protections, stemming from retaliation claims. Click
