Former Starbucks Corp CEO Howard Schultz violated federal labor law by telling a barista in California who questioned the coffee chain's response to union organizing to 'go work for another company,' a National Labor Relations Board judge has ruled.

Starbucks in a statement did not comment directly on the finding that Schultz violated the law. The company said it hosted listening sessions across the country last year "to gather input on how best to shape the experiences in our stores." Hall then asked Schultz about allegations of illegal labor practices in complaints pending at the NLRB, according to the filings.
