Summary
Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz has agreed to testify in a U.S. Senate hearing about the coffee chain's alleged union busting after pressure from Sen. Bernie Sanders. Since Schultz returned to the helm of the company in April last year, Starbucks has taken a more aggressive approach to oppose union push at its cafes. 290 Starbucks locations have voted to unionize, but none of the cafes have agreed to a contract with Starbucks yet. Starbucks has lodged more than 100 of its own complaints against the union, alleging intimidation and harassment.
