Union busting

Schultz defends Starbucks’ tough union stance

Longtime Starbucks leader Howard Schultz defended the coffee chain's confrontational approach to unionization on March 29, while insisting it had not violated U.S. labor law in countering the campaign.

The hearing, which got contentious at some points, was convened by progressive Senator Bernie Sanders, focusing on what the independent from Vermont called "illegal union busting."
