By refusing to rehire 16 of the 22 workers there, Starbucks "chilled employees' support for the union" at the other two stores "by sending a clear message about what would happen if they unionized," the NLRB said. It also seeks to require Starbucks to offer jobs, with back pay and benefits, to the 33 people it let go.

It said the agency's proposed remedies "run contrary to the interests of our and threaten the hometown experience we offer our customers. We look forward to defending the establishment of our Heritage District."
