ILO violation 87,98 : The U.S. National Labor Relations Board's New York office charges that Starbucks, the ubiquitous coffee chain, had committed 30 violations of law in trying to ward off union activity at four outlets in the New York borough of Manhattan. The allegations states that Starbucks fired employees who were supportive of unionization and threatened to fire others. Union organizers are pushing Starbucks for higher wages and more hours, asserting that the $8.75 an hour that some New York coffee clerks, or baristas, earn is too little. They also want the company to guarantee a minimum of 25 or 30 hours of work a week for many of its employees.: United States of America

2006Starbucks lobbyes the US authorities to prevent varieties of coffee bought in Ethiopia from being protected by a appelation from origin, which would increase its purchase price. Starbucks buys the coffee between 0.6 and 1.2 $ the kilo to the Ethiopian producers and sells it 26 $ to the US consumers. : translateUFC Que Choisir

2007Disinformation: While the closing of 600 Starbucks stores is bad news for the 12,000 baristas who will lose their jobs, it's an economic plus for others. The coffee giant is ramping up PR efforts to shape its message about its contraction. Edelman has been the company's firm of record for several years, and their offices in Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas, Austin, Atlanta, New York and Seattle (Starbucks' home town) are all engaged to work with local media for Starbucks. Besides Edelman, "Starbucks is relying on a PR roster that currently includes The Frause Group (Seattle), The Limtiaco Company (Honolulu), Eiseman PR (Chicago) Airfoil PR (Detroit), Cone (Boston), Brotman Winter Fried Communications (Falls Church, Va.), and rbb PR (Coral Gables, Fla.)." Grey Worldwide handles Starbucks' PR in Canada, which is fielding questions about any plans for closing stores there. All in all, it's an intensive PR effort. Bridget Baker, communications program manager at Starbucks said, "We couldn't be doing this without them all by our side.": PR Watch
