Sen. Bernie Sanders grilled former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz on Wednesday, claiming Schultz made efforts to stop employees from unionizing to keep profits high and prevent a wage increase.

"Starbucks has waged the most aggressive and illegal union-busting campaign in the modern history of our country," Sanders, chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee said during the hearing on Capitol Hill.

The Starbucks’ founder is denying allegations that the company’s management engaged in any union busting, maintaining that the company "has not broken the law."

Nearly 300 of the company’s 9,000 U.S. stores have voted to unionize, but more than a year into negotiations, none has reached a contract agreement with the company.
