The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has adopted the findings and conclusions of Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Geoffrey Carter in a decision concerning Starbucks Corporation and Workers United. The ALJ found that Starbucks did not engage in certain alleged unfair labor practices and recommended dismissal of the complaint. As no exceptions were filed by either party within the prescribed time limit, the Board formally adopted the ALJ's decision, making it the Board's Order. Consequently, the complaint against Starbucks Corporation in Cases 15-CA-304674, 15-CA-305620, 15-CA-304317, and 15-CA-321864 has been dismissed.
