A former Starbucks manager testified before a National Labor Relations Board judge in August that corporate higher-ups had instructed him to target pro-union baristas and punish them for irrelevant and sometimes absurd reasons, Bloomberg reported Tuesday. David Almond, a manager who worked in the Buffalo, New York area, had a list of employees thought to harbor pro-union sentiments read aloud to him.
In one case, when Almond explained that a pro-union employee was a great worker, a district manager told him to “go through her files” and come up with “something in there we can use against her,” he claimed. In another instance, he was allegedly made to ensure there was always a supervisor scheduled to work at the store, to deter conversations around unionizing.
