When Starbucks announced last week that that it was closing 16 stores due to what the company described as safety concerns, labor organizers at Starbucks Workers United said they spied a union-busting strategy playing out.
Since June, the National Labor Relations Board says unions have sprung up at 151 Starbucks stores across the country.
With the closure announcement, the conflict between unionized locations and Starbucks corporate has entered a new phase.
Soundside spoke to Seattle Times business reporter Renata Geraldo about where labor negotiations currently stand, and what these branch closures could mean for other locations.

"What did Howard Schultz say about the 16 Starbucks locations closing?
After announcing that 16 Starbucks locations would close because of what the company said were safety concerns, CEO Howard Schultz said in a leaked video that more store closures were coming. In the footage, Schultz was apparently addressing a group of employees. He said: "This is just the beginning. There are going to be many more."
