The raises and tips that Starbucks was giving to the non-union stores, but not offering as options to the unionized stores.

What do you mean by "options". Was there an active negotiating going on at this time (maybe?)

Starbucks did not offer to negotiate these new benefits with the unionized stores. They rolled them out to non-union stores, then made a lot of noise about how they couldn't possibly give them to the union stores, because the union was preventing it—but they didn't actually engage in any negotiations with the union, offer the benefits, or in any other way show good faith.

It is painfully clear that this is a deliberate union-busting tactic on Starbucks' part. The only reason they gave any stores these benefits is in order to make the union look bad.

This is illegal.
