TL;DR Summary

Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz will testify before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee as part of its investigation into federal labor law. Schultz and the company have been accused of union-busting, including conducting captive audience meetings and delaying contract bargaining. The Starbucks Workers United union has filed more than 500 unfair labor practice charges against the company, and the National Labor Relations Board has issued 83 complaints covering more than half of these charges. The outcome of the Starbucks union movement could have far-reaching effects on the wider union movement and could determine what work is like for millions of other Americans.
