Judge: Starbucks violated federal labor law by withholding pay hikes from unionized workers
cnn.com
Starbucks violated federal labor law when it increased wages and offered new perks and benefits only to non-union employees, a National Labor Relations Board judge found Thursday.
The decision is the latest in a series of NLRB rulings finding that Starbucks has violated labor law in its efforts to stop unions from forming in its coffee shops.
“The issue at the heart of this case is whether, under current Board law, [Starbucks] was entitled to explicitly reward employees,” for not participating in union activity, “while falsely telling its workers that the federal labor law forced it to take this action,” wrote administrative law judge Mara-Louise Anzalone. “It was not.”

How about an investigation into precisely whos idea the union busting was and subsequently prison sentences for those responsible?
Fines don't hurt the rich like they do us. But we all have the same (give or take) lifespans. 5 years in prison hurts a billionaire more than any fine you could levy.
They weren't even fined, they just had to pay what they owed. But if an employee stole $100 from a register they'd go to jail and be unemployable for life.
That's why I have no problem believing Epstein killed himself. He knew what he was facing and what he had lost.
It wouldn’t be hard to believe if he didn’t have broken neck bones. People don’t break their neck vertebrae when purposefully hanging themselves, let alone multiple, unless they fall a great distance, which Epstein did not. That’s what has always made me suspicious of the official cause of death.
