Starbucks accuses US officials of working in concert with union leaders

Starbucks has accused federal labour officials of working with union leaders to sway election results and demanded the government halt all further ballots pending an investigation. The coffee chain has been the target of one of the most concerted labour-organising campaigns in the fast-food industry since the 1980s, with more than 220 Starbucks stores across the country voting to unionise since December. Workers say the chain’s stores are understaffed and Starbucks is taking advantage of them for profit.
