Complaint accuses Starbucks of anti-union threats in Marysville
MARYSVILLE — The National Labor Relations Board has filed a complaint against Starbucks, alleging the company interfered with employees’ efforts to form a union at a Marysville cafe.
The labor board alleges Starbucks managers threatened employees at the Lakewood Crossing store and interfered with union activities, according to a copy of the complaint filed Tuesday and obtained by The Daily Herald.
Specifically, employees at the Starbucks were barred from wearing union insignia, while other insignia was allowed, the complaint states. Staff were also reportedly told they would be disciplined for sending group text messages or speaking on behalf of other employees.
In May, a store employee was denied a promotion and later fired because of her efforts to organize a union, the complaint continues.

SB store has been built in the county seat... wonder how long that will last. McD's can't even get help while advertising $18/hr.
