Labor board: Starbucks broke law in Everett, Seattle store closures

EVERETT — A shuttered Starbucks on Evergreen Way should be open and serving coffee, according to the National Labor Relations Board.

In a complaint earlier this month, the board’s Seattle office accused Starbucks of closing stores last year to discourage union activity.

The Everett store at 11802 Evergreen Way is one of 23 locations across the United States, including seven in Seattle, that the labor relations board asked Starbucks to reopen “immediately.” The complaint, penned by the Seattle-based regional director, also demanded Starbucks rehire all affected workers, compensate them with backpay and pay all search-for-work expenses.
