In a letter to CEO Howard Schultz, lawmakers called on the company to stop these appalling and retaliatory practices.
A regional director for the National Labor Relations Board says that the closure was retaliatory and Starbucks should have to reopen the store.
They say their reputations were hurt by a managers claim that they refused to let her leave the store during a workplace protest.
Starbucks plans to spend $450 million next year to make its North American stores more efficient and less complex.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
The seven will get their jobs back after the Seattle-based coffee giant lost an appeal of a lower courts order to reinstate them.
Starbucks has named a longtime PepsiCo executive as its new CEO.
The coffee chain's termination of union activists known as the "Memphis Seven" created a chilling effect among other baristas, the judge ruled.
The union said its just sour grapes: "Workers have spoken loud and clear."
The event, "A New Labor Movement," delved into the wave of union organizing that has come to high-profile employers this year.
Starbucks Workers United filed unfair labor practice charges over the CEOs comment that he could never embrace a union.
