None of the unionized Starbucks locations in Canada shut down after their union drive, although I get your concern, corporate can be sneaky!
I've heard about it happening in the U.S.
That is true, but I think its harder to get away with that here
Aren't individual locations owned by private individuals - franchisees?
Most Starbucks locations aren't franchises and are directly owned by corporate

Hah, I had it all wrong I guess. Thanks for the info.
TBF, lots of other chains have a franchise model so it's easy to mix up
