The NYC Comptroller is urging Starbucks shareholders to push for board accountability, citing concerns over the company’s handling of labor conflicts. The Comptroller’s office has engaged with Starbucks since union organizing began in 2021, and notes a shift in board oversight after the CEO consolidated the roles of Chair and CEO in September 2024, leading to a perceived decline in independent engagement regarding labor issues. The report highlights recurring unfair labor practice claims and stalled collective bargaining, recommending a restoration of robust board-level oversight.
