Starbucks CEO claims coffee giant has never broken federal labour law

The CEO of Starbucks has claimed that the company “unequivocally” has never broken federal labour law.

Howard Schultz made the statement during his testimony to a Senate committee, where he will be grilled by Bernie Sanders.

“Let me say under oath, these are allegations and Starbucks has not broken the law,” he told the committee.

It comes after a federal labour judge ordered the company to reinstate fired workers and reopen a store after finding that the company violated labour laws “hundreds of times” during a union effort in Buffalo, New York.
