“We can’t ignore what is happening in the country as it relates to companies throughout the country being assaulted, in many ways, by the threat of unionization.” - Howard Shultz, April 4th 2022
Just the words union and household put together says everything. You should start your own business that requires multiple employees to show up and follow the company rules to stay afloat, attempt your ass off to make a yearly profit, and possibly (maybe) open a second location a few years later to repeat the original success. Now imagine your employees want to erase your ability to grow your business with their inane tyrannical unionization tactics to the point where you can't even keep the original business you busted your ass for years to keep afloat, and you have to let everybody go and close the business. Boy, those employees sure did themselves and you a favor didn't they? LOCUSTS.
It is totally different. Just because a judge says something is moral or legal does not make it moral or legal. Have you not ever heard of Dred Scott???
@@empirecity61 he's not talking about morality. He keeps saying they didn't break the LAW when they were already found guilty of breaking the law. Like it was already official.

BS move for sure. Pro franchises are a for profit business, but they are also part civic institutions. Schultz, a billionaire, decided that the City wouldn’t allow the team to be profitable enough for his liking, so he gave the whole entire city the finger and sold them. What a guy…. $ is all he cares about…
It Stopped in 2008 for me...and I would still boast the question to anyone who could please explain to me where the value is in a $6.00 cup of coffee? Bartenders everywhere would like to know!

Ah yes first its a higher minimum wage which sends all the labor to giant corporations and now you want unions to destroy everything. Self inflicted wound.
It won't Liberal white women will continue to spend $5 for a cup of coffee. The real problem is not Starbucks. It's Bernie not letting the CEO awnser the questions he was asked. Don't you find it funny when the ceo said I would like to respond the Liberal congressman would not let him?
Not complicated - they keep their companies profitable so that everyone who works for the company can earn a living. It doesn’t happen by accident. We the have the choice to work where we want in this country. If we don’t like the leadership of our employer, we can find somewhere else…even if it’s painful to do so.

Unfortunately, it appears that Schultz is being less than candid in his responses. My sense of this company is that Starbucks treats its employees relatively well compared to competitors in the food service industry. But, they are anti-union and I think that's wrong.
It’s super convenient for me that I already refused to pay $7 for gross coffee or a plastic cup of sugar ice that once had the word “coffee” said over it. What a gross CEO anyway. 🤷🏻♂

Not that that'll happen with the corruption we allow to fester in Congress and in state legislatures around the country.

My investment in this company are coming out of the company. This guy is horrible.Negotiation on a store to store policy. Where did the union work like that. When the union negotiates, they do it for their whole union, not for a store to store basic negotiation .

Worked as a manager in a union shop, loved it, before the union came we had massive grey areas, with the union you have a contract. Now if I needed more assistance in any area I was questioned by employees stating I am giving more work to one than others. Again they have a contract so if the employee refuses then the employee needs to get a shop steward to review which we did and the employee was sent to assist the crew in need, rarely occurred treated all with Dignity and Respect!
I gotta tell ya, it's hard enough to get labor (coworkers/staff etc.) to stand up for themselves. In my field working at three different employers I did everything I could to help my fellow workers do something, anything to help themselves through encouraging and directing them How To organize, this was before management was ever involved. In every instance it turned out management never had to get involved as they, my fellow workers, did everything to defeat, discourage and disrupt any chance at improving their working conditions. Every time the workers stood up for and justified, even rationalized management's would be position. It was amazing. Otherwise these were all educated, perceptive, well informed, i.e., knowledgeable and charitable people. The sad irony is this happened in a union town where everyone was able to see the advantages and benefits to the community at large from having union labor.
New York City used to have dozens of newspapers. When I was a kid it still had a dozen, and I saw the decline down to the 4 papers it has now. Every time a paper went out of business it was a strike by the printers' union that did it in.

Disgusting.
That pretty much tells the mindset of this greedy, lying sack of 💩

Deceit comes naturally for people this wealthy.

Well said
This CEO seems like a serial killer
They are all psychopaths that need to be parentally terminated by society.
@@rsr789 instead of bitch-ing and moaning and being a pathetic bottom feeder, how about you start your own business, let's see how that pans out.
Thank you Senator Sanders for holding this hearing. Howard Schultz should not be above the law. No matter how many lawyers he can afford to hire.
Bernie is a clown
How many people Mr Sanders employ ? Pay them very good ?
Socialism = jealousy !
Did you live in a socialist / communist country ?
I did !((
I’m sure it won’t break their bank but I’m done with Starbucks. Grew up in a Union household and hate the way Starbucks has treated their employees.
Just the words union and household put together says everything. You should start your own business that requires multiple employees to show up and follow the company rules to stay afloat, attempt your ass off to make a yearly profit, and possibly (maybe) open a second location a few years later to repeat the original success. Now imagine your employees want to erase your ability to grow your business with their inane tyrannical unionization tactics to the point where you can't even keep the original business you busted your ass for years to keep afloat, and you have to let everybody go and close the business. Boy, those employees sure did themselves and you a favor didn't they? LOCUSTS.
Same with Amazon, I wish we could boycott them, but let's be honest, it's too convenient.
They can go work some other place !!
Free market !!
@@LEK-we2hh which they will, gladly do. Nobody wants to work for corporate scum who treat employees like shiz. It's a new era.
what’s your view on the teamsters tentative agreement?
He wants it to be in person only so no one can do a screen recording of the meeting.
That was my first thought.
*Ding ding ding*
I mean how is he supposed to bribe the union leader without employees finding out if the leader demands transparency in negotiations?
Yup
That’s because not only would it help the union’s negotiations but it would also be evidence in any other issue
And when they start calling you a "partner" or mentioning their workplace is a "family" you are in trouble already. #HowardSchultz #UnionBuster
"Mr Chairman we didn't break the law. We were just found guilty of breaking the law, it's completely different!"
It is totally different. Just because a judge says something is moral or legal does not make it moral or legal. Have you not ever heard of Dred Scott???
@@empirecity61 moral is up to you but legally... its literally the definition of legal..
@@empirecity61 he's not talking about morality. He keeps saying they didn't break the LAW when they were already found guilty of breaking the law. Like it was already official.
The NLRB is a totally political organization. They view their mission as promoting unions. They do not feel it is their role is being fair to the employer.
There's a reason why teachers firefighters policemen nurses have unions and not to mention UPS...
Because they work for The most corrupt employer in the world.
Yes, and that reason is cronyism and corruption in the government.
Yeah, and there’s a reason why McDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell, Arby’s AND STARBUCKS…etc DO NOT!
@@desboukis no I don't think so actually
@superwalkingtours Well, I guess all those companies will soon be unionized 🙃
Buffalo NY is my hometown and I lived in Seattle where Starbucks is based. most people in Seattle DID NOT like Schulz at all. he was instrumental in selling the Supersonics to Oklahoma in 2008, the longest established pro team in Seattle history at the time…the guy is typical profit over people CEO
A tragic BS move.
BS move for sure. Pro franchises are a for profit business, but they are also part civic institutions. Schultz, a billionaire, decided that the City wouldn’t allow the team to be profitable enough for his liking, so he gave the whole entire city the finger and sold them. What a guy…. $ is all he cares about…
Good for him! You can do that too )))
I would say I'll start boycotting Starbucks for being anti-union, but I stopped drinking their overpriced swill a long time ago...
It Stopped in 2008 for me...and I would still boast the question to anyone who could please explain to me where the value is in a $6.00 cup of coffee?
Bartenders everywhere would like to know!
Unions have destroyed a lot of companies!
Have you ever started a business and take all the risk? Yes boycott, no one is forcing you to buy premium coffee. Can never figure out why anyone would spend that much for a cup of heated water and beans
Welcome to Captialism, my friend. You don't have to go there, and that is your choice. People aren't forced to work there either. Some of you people should just go move to Cuba!
@@reichbates6548 Having been a union member for more than 30 years, I've only seen jobs saved.

He's pretty good at soulless corpspeak.. I wonder if ChatGPT could do the same
That's because he's a psychopath with no ethics, morals, or humanity. And his actions demand society terminates him from the ranks of the living.
i know bernie has been doing it for almost 50 years now
The unreasonableness of Howard and his team is hard to understand especially when you take into account Howard's family history. It's frustrating to watch. We need stronger tools in this country to support workers.
We have a huge tool if the Democratic Party can pull it off - taxation! We need to form an international coalition to catch and tame these tax evaders.
We used to have those tools. They were called unions.
There are many tools in congress, and many of them don't care about working people.
Or just start a business and play the game instead of be a wagie

They brought up the frustrations of our baristas when labor cuts started happening (despite our increase in profits at our location). He said it’s great that workers have the right to unionize. He also said that it would be out of his control if we did unionize and if we became the third to get closed down.
@@ericanderson8795 it started with the stores unionizing and formulating a contract, to them getting fully shut down.
Bernie getting right to the point and making CEOs squirm, that's the kind of guy I want representing me. He's the reason this is even being investigated
Lmao. A guy who’s literally done nothing. Hasn’t made a single persons life better
@@killap3nguin He's literally making tons of people's lives better right now by enforcing our right to unionize. Just like he fought for civil rights, gay rights, and legislation that helps poor and middle class people since when even most Democrats were openly racist and elitist (yes, some of them still are and hide it). What he didn't accomplish, was blocked by politicians that don't give a shit about the American people. Maybe you don't believe in any of those things, in which case it's not even worth having this conversation. And even so, do you think that trying to make people's lives better and failing is worse than actively harming them like 90% of Congress?
Didn't appear to be squirming to me. Just doesn't want a union. I don't blame him. Work somewhere else if you don't like it. Plenty of jobs out there.
Q: Mr. CEO, did you break the law?
A: The company did not break any law.
But that wasn't the question
That's really the whole purpose of a corporation right? Its a collective with no one person being responsible. Its literally called a Limited Liability Corporation for a reason.
Accountancy 101: the owners and the business are to be considered as separate entities.
This exchange makes me dislike Schultz even more. These billionaires should be taxed out of billionaires.
Time to boycott Starbucks. What a despicable human being. Bravo Bernie. 💙
But if you boycott Starbucks wouldn't it lead to store closing and people unionizing losing their job or being forced to accept non union pay?
@@EricT01 keep touching your forelock .
Can we finally stop saying that Starbucks sells coffee?
Overpriced comfort drinks for babies who don't like coffee is more appropriate.
I bet the coffee you drink is hard as fuck. Stygian black no doubt
Unionization will hurt shareholder values, and shareholder values feed these elite’s luxury lifestyle, don’t we all know that?
Well, you have a chance to create your own company and let your employees create a union that will hurt shareholders ( yours ) values. Let's see how long will you tolerate that
Negotiating under a single store, basis, undermines the union
Screw Starbucks. Hopefully this incident will cause a loss of business and revenue and force them out of business.

@@orionide4032 ?
It won't Liberal white women will continue to spend $5 for a cup of coffee. The real problem is not Starbucks. It's Bernie not letting the CEO awnser the questions he was asked. Don't you find it funny when the ceo said I would like to respond the Liberal congressman would not let him?
I have a serious question, what exactly do CEO’s do to earn a billion dollars a year?
Answer: Nothing of any substance or worth to the company or our society.
You just saw it. To be the sacrificial scapegoat so the corporation can continue unabated.
Not complicated - they keep their companies profitable so that everyone who works for the company can earn a living. It doesn’t happen by accident. We the have the choice to work where we want in this country. If we don’t like the leadership of our employer, we can find somewhere else…even if it’s painful to do so.
I love watching the peasants pretend to be smart. Brings me joy. The starbucks ceo made about 17 million last year. With over 400,000 employees, if you took away the whole ceo salary, each employee would get an extra $42 dollars a year.
No, the frontline workers keep the companies profitable. The CEO keeps the shareholders profitable, there’s a difference.
Bernie ❤❤❤❤
Howard Shultz should be charged with obstructing the cause of justice AND perjury.
These CEOs are rotting our country to its core. We’re watching the fall of Rome in real time.
CEOs create jobs, without them the country wouldn’t have income and only depend on government who wouldn’t have who to tax.
They don't, the explain people for low wages. What creates true jobs for life is the cooperative company
You’re right the guy who’s parent didn’t own a house but started a billion dollar company is the problem
What a stupid fucking take
@@wtflexus6427 CEOs do not “create jobs”, the market does, and the market doesn’t exist without workers who earn enough to participate in said market.

Bless Bernie. That man should be President right now. He is the ONLY member of Congress that has consistently, for decades fought for the American worker.
Sorry, Bernie is a fraud. His schtick is caring about the 'little guy", so he has a platform to pitch. I've dealt with him since he was the mayor of Burlington. He and his family have always been about making money for themselves (look up Burlington College sometime). I think he has a role to play in Washington by ruffling some feathers, but to say he should be the President right now is outrageous. The past 6/7 years in the Capital should make that perfectly clear!

Well, it's give this a go: if they think this is the worst thing ever, then they won't feel so bed when his kids are guillotined in the public square.
Unfortunately, it appears that Schultz is being less than candid in his responses.
My sense of this company is that Starbucks treats its employees relatively well compared to competitors in the food service industry. But, they are anti-union and I think that's wrong.

Mmm. More kool aid please.
Me personally, I’m done working dad and low-end dead end union jobs but I support you guys
Worked as a manager in a union shop, loved it, before the union came we had massive grey areas, with the union you have a contract. Now if I needed more assistance in any area I was questioned by employees stating I am giving more work to one than others. Again they have a contract so if the employee refuses then the employee needs to get a shop steward to review which we did and the employee was sent to assist the crew in need, rarely occurred treated all with Dignity and Respect!
He never pronounced the world "union", not once.
Union is a quiet partner !

Stop drinking Starbucks.
I gotta tell ya, it's hard enough to get labor (coworkers/staff etc.) to stand up for themselves. In my field working at three different employers I did everything I could to help my fellow workers do something, anything to help themselves through encouraging and directing them How To organize, this was before management was ever involved. In every instance it turned out management never had to get involved as they, my fellow workers, did everything to defeat, discourage and disrupt any chance at improving their working conditions. Every time the workers stood up for and justified, even rationalized management's would be position. It was amazing. Otherwise these were all educated, perceptive, well informed, i.e., knowledgeable and charitable people. The sad irony is this happened in a union town where everyone was able to see the advantages and benefits to the community at large from having union labor.
Sheeple!
New York City used to have dozens of newspapers. When I was a kid it still had a dozen, and I saw the decline down to the 4 papers it has now. Every time a paper went out of business it was a strike by the printers' union that did it in.
damn that's crazy maybe if the newspapers didn't give the unions a reason to strike they'd still be around
