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（纳斯达克：SBUX）再次卷入劳动争议，因为其工会向国家劳动关系委员会提交了34项新投诉，标志着紧张局势的再度升级。
What Happened: The complaints, lodged by Starbucks Workers United, accuse the company of breaching federal labor laws, Bloomberg reported on Friday
发生了什么：这些投诉由星巴克工人联合提交，指控公司违反联邦劳动法，彭博社周五报道称。
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个州针对和解雇员工因其工会活动。这些行动紧随12月20日提交的先前投诉，指控星巴克的不公平谈判行为。
Starbucks has dismissed the allegations as unfounded.
星巴克对这些指控表示无根据。
"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.
公司发言人Phil Gee在给彭博社的电子邮件声明中表示：“花时间提交这样的投诉是一种转移注意力的策略，这分散了我们可能取得的进展。”NLRb将调查这些案件，如果被认为可信，它们可能会提交给机构法官。
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.
最近的申诉和罢工反映了与2022年和2023年相似的持续劳动争议。尽管之前努力解决分歧，但由于薪资问题，谈判破裂，工会指责星巴克经济提案不足。
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."
为什么这很重要：最近的投诉正值假日季节发生了一场重大劳动罢工之后。星巴克员工在工资谈判停滞的情况下扩大了罢工范围，蔓延到了更多的美国城市。罢工始于洛杉矶、芝加哥和西雅图等主要城市，最终蔓延到新泽西、纽约、费城和圣路易斯。工人联合要求大幅提高工资，而星巴克认为这是“不可持续的”。
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.
进一步加剧了局势的是，超过300个星巴克门店在圣诞夜受到罢工影响，涉及超过5000名工人。未解决的薪资、员工配置和时间表争议是罢工的核心。随着超过60家主要城市的门店关闭，持续的劳动骚乱突显了星巴克与其员工之间不断加深的裂痕。
