NLRB is going to have something to say about that

We can hope. But we are at a weird place where the fines and punishments for union busting are often so light that these big corporations can afford to write it off and continue to exploit labor.

I feel like it's awfully hard to prove that the store is retaliating.
If Starbucks moved 2 streets over and re-opened that'd be one thing but to just close a store...

Sort of, the courts almost always defend a employers right to close up shop. However if they close down one store out of a franchise that is or has recently unionized they can fine them. Starbucks has already gotten hit for doing this in other states, but as I said the penalties for it are fucking trivial.
