💨 Abstract

A labor rights group has filed a lawsuit against Starbucks, accusing the company of sourcing coffee from a Brazilian cooperative whose member farms allegedly use slave labor. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court in Washington, claims that Starbucks violated U.S. trafficking laws by continuing to buy coffee from the cooperative despite repeated citations for labor violations.
