REUTERS/Mike Blake/File PhotoCompanies Starbucks Corp FollowAug 8 (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court on Tuesday rejected Starbucks Corp's (SBUX.O) challenge to a ruling requiring the coffee chain to rehire seven employees at a Memphis, Tennessee, store who were allegedly fired for supporting a union. Circuit Court of Appeals is the first from an appeals court involving a nationwide campaign that has seen workers at more than 300 Starbucks locations vote to unionize. "Fear of retaliation will exist unless the Memphis Seven, apparently terminated for their union support, are reinstated," Circuit Judge Danny Boggs wrote for the court. Starbucks and the labor board, which had sought the order reinstating the workers, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. More than 600 complaints have been filed with the labor board accusing Starbucks of illegal labor practices such as firing union supporters, spying on workers and closing stores during labor campaigns.

Since then workers at 243 other stores spread over 38 states have voted to join Starbucks Workers United — that’s more than five stores a week. Still, most of the fired workers nationwide remain off the job, including Tambellini. “The pizza place next door [to the Starbucks store I worked at] offered me a job almost immediately,” said Tambellini. Starbucks employees and supporters react as votes are read during a union-election watch party in Buffalo, New York. The Starbucks workers are really demonstrating that it’s possible to unionize in an industry where it was thought of as impossible to organize, due to high turnover and a large percentage of young people,” he said.

A judge ordered Starbucks to reinstate the "Memphis Seven," who say they were fired over union activity. The union Starbucks Workers United said that the company fired the workers – known as the "Memphis Seven" – in retaliation for organizing and speaking to the media. Among other things, the NLRB asked Starbucks to give the fired workers their jobs back. "The Court agrees with the Board that reinstatement of the Memphis Seven is just and proper," District Judge Sheryl Lipman wrote in a filing Thursday. Workers at a store on Elmwood Ave, Buffalo voted to form a union, the first-ever at a corporate-owned Starbucks store in the US, in December.
