Starbucks loses appeal over union election at Seattle store
)' claims that an election won by a union at the coffee company's flagship Seattle store was invalid because it was held via mail ballot during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 9th Circuit on Wednesday disagreed, finding that the official correctly applied a test the board adopted in 2020 for determining when a mail-ballot election was appropriate because of the pandemic. Business groups and Republican lawmakers have criticized the labor board for continuing to shun in-person elections even as the pandemic subsided. They claim mail-ballot elections lower voter participation and jeopardize workers' rights to choose whether to be represented by a union.
But the 9th Circuit in its decision noted that the labor board had not defined what a 14-day trend was or laid out a specific method for calculating it.
