Starbucks issued a letter to the National Labor Relations Board to suspend mail ballot elections after claiming it was tipped off that there has been misconduct in prior elections.
It was also alleged that board officials disenfranchised employees who were not given the same opportunity to cast in-person votes, collaborated with union representatives to "cover up this misbehavior" and increase the number of pro-union votes to the outcome of elections.
Starbucks employees and supporters react as votes are read during a union-election watch party on Thursday, Dec. 9, 2021, in Buffalo, New York. Starbucks said it was made aware by the whistleblower that there were documents and emails between board officials and union representatives that show there was misconduct at the Overland Park store in Kansas City.
These documents showed, in part, that "board personnel have secretly colluded with the Union to affect multiple stages" of the election process, including providing, returning and counting of ballots, according to Starbucks."The purpose of this misconduct was to tip-the-scale in order to deliver the outcome sought by the Union," Starbucks wrote.
Starbucks is requesting all current, pending and future mail ballot elections be suspended until there has been a thorough investigation from NLRB Inspector General David Berry into the matter and that "the outcome has been made public, and safeguards to prevent future misconduct have been implemented.
