  • Starbucks founder Howard Schultz testified before the Senate about the company's rampant illegal union-busting campaign, and Sen. Bernie Sanders held nothing back.
    "Over the past 18 months, Starbucks has waged the most aggressive and illegal union-busting camping in the modern history of our country," Sanders said. "That union busting campaign has been led by Howard Schultz, the multi-billionaire founder and director of Starbucks who is with us this morning only under the threat of subpoena."
    Later, Sanders pressed Schultz: "Have you ever threatened, coerced, or intimidated a worker for supporting a union?"
    Schultz wouldn't answer no. "I've had conversations that could’ve been interpreted in a different way than I intended..."
    Watch the highlights.

    I worked at Starbucks in 2016 and my district manager was a wonderful man. He knew the names of every partner in his district and made us feel valued and listened to. He was fired. He was given no notice and stormed with an NDA. He had worked with Starbucks for over 30 years. Starbucks cares about NOTHING more than their bottom line. No amount of being an excellent employee could compare to what they stand to lose in benefits and their other promises and insensitives that would lead someone to give that much of their lives, conveniently close to retirement. Shame on Howard.

    13:30 This is the problem. Corporations are hyper focused on PR aimed at customers - because they factory farm us for our wallets - at the expense of the employees. The hidden point of giant corporations is accumulation of power by process of accumulating money, requiring the abuse of the employee. A business's first loyalty should always be the employee. Without them there is no business. It's a slow crawl to failure.

      The problem is its "civil" so far criminal cases they know will go nowhere criminally . Because they got a ocean of lawyers and can delay delay delay delay. And government currently underfunds the people supposed to investigate these crimes and enforce them. Essentially 100,000 workers covered by 1 enforcement officer. Which its hard to is that alot or a little. But to give a little context 1/4 women experience sexual assault 68% of all workers experience wage theft. 61% have experienced or witnessed discrimination. Aka each enforcement agent has to deal with 50,000 PLUS cases. These are complex cases which take alot of legwork. Which is why alot of the time they stick with the easy cases aka employer fired me for being black said so in front of bunch of people. And left voicemail stating as much. Rather than the harder to prove cases. For example walmart has done similar closures. And its simply hard to prove because they close other stores keep records and essentially have a documented reason to close any store at any time. With loss statements and other things to make it "seem" reasonable and not because of union vote.
      Even if government agency does fixate choose to pursue them if they stall agency may run out of steam. In meantime they fund politicians and if right politicians get elected they will replace agencys leadership. Who will either defund investigation or reassign most the staff or do anything in their power to kill it.

      The company has a fiduciary duty to the shareholders, not the customers or workers. It's actually against the law to pay the workers well if it takes away from shareholder compensation. Shareholders can sue if they are not happy with the wealth distribution. And the shareholders are protected by the corporate veil.

    We need harsher laws for these corporations. Every employee in the US should be unionized. If they hire anyone without a union, it will only mean that they'll illegally hire cheap labor from other countries. To fix that problem, they would also need to be unionized with a time limit permit to work here. If any corporation breaks the laws, they should not only pay a huge fine, (that leaves a dent on their bottom line) but they should be shut down for good if they repeat the offense. Enough abuse on our citizens.
    Many foreigners come here, open shops and become billionaires on OUR hard-working-backs. It's time for us to get respectable wages and benefits that other countries enjoy.
