On Friday, Workers United filed a claim with the National Labor Relations Board accusing Starbucks of illegally shutting down an Ithaca, New York store following unionization efforts there, according to Bloomberg. Now, the labor organization is hosting a ‘Twitter storm’ to draw attention to the company’s alleged union-busting.<\/p>\n
The online movement has led to nearly 5,000 tweets with the trending \u201c#ShameOnStarbucks\u201d and \u201c#CollegeAveStrong\u201d hashtags since it began at 12pm EST today.<\/p>\n
Workers at the Ithaca Starbucks on College Ave. voted to unionize in April and held a single-day strike in response to unsafe working conditions due to an appliance issue, they said. They were given notice of their store’s closure just one week before its intended closure date.<\/p>\n
