Labor Notes · Starbucks Workers Win Breakthrough Promise of Real NegotiationsThe piñata finally burst. Starbucks corporate heads agreed Tuesday to negotiate for real with the union and allow workers to organize. “I was in shock initially, and definitely some disbelief,” said Michelle Eisen, who works at the first Buffalo store that unionized with Starbucks Workers United in 2021. As she learned more, she said, she came to believe the victory is real.

MSNBCWhy ex-Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz hates the 'billionaire' labelBy Zeeshan Aleem
Poetry News

O Howard Schultz, you put up a fight
As Congress tried to put you in a bind
You pushed back with all your might
And said the billionaire label was unkind
You said it's not right to judge
Based on wealth that's been accrued
You reminded us all of our human worth
In a time when money was misconstrued

Democracy Now! | InvidiousBernie Sanders vs. Howard Schultz: Longtime Starbucks CEO Grilled on Company’s Union-Busting TacticsJust weeks after the National Labor Relations Board accused Starbucks of engaging in "egregious and widespread misconduct" to prevent employees from unionizing, the company's longtime CEO Howard Schultz appeared before the Senate's Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee on Wednesday to answer questions. Committee Chair Bernie Sanders of Vermont grilled Schultz on the company's union-busting record and demanded an end to retaliation against workers. Since 2021, nearly 300 Starbucks locations have voted to unionize, but the company has responded by firing many organizers and shuttering unionized stores, among other tactics. Schultz is worth over $3 billion and has led Starbucks for much of its history, most recently as interim CEO for the last year as a permanent replacement was found. He stepped down on March 20.

From the article:

Since the first Starbucks store voted to unionize in late 2022, nearly 300 Starbucks stores have taken that step, although none has yet negotiated a collective-bargaining contract and the company has closed some pro-union stores. Judges have ruled that Starbucks repeatedly broke labor laws, including by firing workers, interrogating them, threatening to rescind benefits if employees organized and threatening to call the police on a worker, according to a spokesperson from the National Labor Relations Board.

...A judge found that Starbucks engaged in "egregious and widespread misconduct demonstrating a general disregard for the employees' fundamental rights," ordering Schultz to personally read the employees a recitation of their rights under the law. The company has faced more than 500 complaints of unfair labor practices filed by workers and labor officials, according to the NLRB.
