Kaitlyn Kennedy at TAG24 News reports Starbucks has been ordered to reopen two locations it closed in Ithaca, New York after Workers formed a Union.  National Labor Relations Board Administrative Law Judge Geoffrey Carter ruled Starbucks unlawfully closed the Ithaca Commons and Meadow Street Cafes in May 2023.  Carter, who ordered the company to reopen the locations "within a reasonable period of time," determined Starbucks closed the stores and failed to engage in collective bargaining with Employees for "Anti-Union reasons and with the intent to chill Unionism at other store locations."  "I find that it was reasonably foreseeable that Respondent’s decisions to close the Commons and Meadow stores would have a chilling effect on Unionism at Respondent’s other locations in Buffalo (and indeed, nationwide)," the Judge wrote in his decision.
