Howard Schultz Says Starbucks Will Never Engage With Union

Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz has no plans to ever negotiate in good faith with Starbucks Workers United, the billionaire said Thursday. The statement marks a significant and potentially illegal shift in the company's public statements about its relationship with the labor union that has organized nearly 300 stores and counting in less than a year's time.

During a live interview with the New York Times, Schultz blasted the union as a "third party," and when asked whether he could ever see himself "embracing the union" as part of a company-wide transformation, Schultz offered a blunt one-word response: "No."
