Starbucks is under investigation for reportedly closing almost two dozen outlets illegally, including eight in Western Washington, and hindering union activities. The National Labor Relations Board filed a complaint against the Seattle-based coffee company, requesting the reopening of all 23 shops and compensation for missed earnings. This incident occurred in late 2023, and it may have consequences for Starbucks in 2024, impacting the company’s reputation and potentially influencing labor practices and employee interactions in the future year.
