"Starbucks, and other employers, should take note that the NLRB will continue to vigorously protect workers’ right to organize without interference from their employer," NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo said in a statement.
Starbucks said Thursday that it "strongly" disagrees with the judge's ruling, arguing that the employees were fired because they let a television crew into the store after hours.
"These individuals violated numerous policies and failed to maintain a secure work environment and safety standards," the company said in a statement. "Interest in a union does not exempt partners from following policies that are in place to protect partners, our customers and the communities we serve."
