Starbucks Faces 34 New Union Complaints Amid Rising Tensions With Workers
Starbucks has dismissed the allegations as unfounded. Starbucks Corp. (NASDAQ:SBUX) is once again embroiled in labor disputes as its union has filed 34 new complaints with the National Labor Relations Board, marking a resurgence in tensions.
星巴克CORP（納斯達克：SBUX）再次捲入勞動爭議，因爲其工會向國家勞動關係委員會提交了34項新投訴，標誌着緊張局勢的再度升級。
What Happened: The complaints, lodged by Starbucks Workers United, accuse the company of breaching federal labor laws, Bloomberg reported on Friday
發生了什麼：這些投訴由星巴克工人聯合提交，指控公司違反聯邦勞動法，彭博社週五報道稱。
Allegations include targeting and dismissing employees for their union activities across 16 states. These actions follow a previous complaint filed on Dec. 20, accusing Starbucks of unfair negotiation practices.
指控包括在16個州針對和解僱員工因其工會活動。這些行動緊隨12月20日提交的先前投訴，指控星巴克的不公平談判行爲。
Starbucks has dismissed the allegations as unfounded.
星巴克對這些指控表示無根據。
"Taking time to file such claims is a tactic that brings distraction from the progress we could be making," said company spokesperson Phil Gee in an emailed statement to Bloomberg. The NLRB will investigate these cases, and if found credible, they could proceed to agency judges.
公司發言人Phil Gee在給彭博社的電子郵件聲明中表示：「花時間提交這樣的投訴是一種轉移注意力的策略，這分散了我們可能取得的進展。」NLRb將調查這些案件，如果被認爲可信，它們可能會提交給機構法官。
The recent filings and strikes reflect ongoing labor disputes reminiscent of those in 2022 and 2023. Despite earlier efforts to resolve differences, talks broke down over pay issues, with the union accusing Starbucks of inadequate economic proposals.
最近的申訴和罷工反映了與2022年和2023年相似的持續勞動爭議。儘管之前努力解決分歧，但由於薪資問題，談判破裂，工會指責星巴克經濟提案不足。
Why It Matters: The recent complaints come on the heels of a significant labor strike during the holiday season. Starbucks workers expanded their strike to more U.S. cities as wage negotiations stalled. The strike, which began in major cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and Seattle, eventually spread to New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia, and St. Louis. Workers United demanded substantial wage increases, which Starbucks deemed "unsustainable."
爲什麼這很重要：最近的投訴正值假日季節發生了一場重大勞動罷工之後。星巴克員工在工資談判停滯的情況下擴大了罷工範圍，蔓延到了更多的美國城市。罷工始於洛杉磯、芝加哥和西雅圖等主要城市，最終蔓延到新澤西、紐約、費城和聖路易斯。工人聯合要求大幅提高工資，而星巴克認爲這是「不可持續的」。
Further intensifying the situation, over 300 Starbucks locations were affected by a strike on Christmas Eve, involving more than 5,000 workers. Unresolved disputes over wages, staffing, and schedules were at the core of the strike. With over 60 stores in major cities shut, the ongoing labor unrest highlights the deepening rift between Starbucks and its employees.
進一步加劇了局勢的是，超過300個星巴克門店在聖誕夜受到罷工影響，涉及超過5000名工人。未解決的薪資、員工配置和時間表爭議是罷工的核心。隨着超過60家主要城市的門店關閉，持續的勞動騷亂突顯了星巴克與其員工之間不斷加深的裂痕。
