A coalition of Starbucks investors is calling for several board members to be removed due to the company’s handling of union disputes. The group argues that the board has not adequately overseen labor‑relations strategy or addressed legal risks tied to ongoing complaints. Starbucks maintains that it is committed to bargaining and improving workplace conditions. The proposal will be voted on at the company’s annual meeting.
