Starbucks Faces Backlash After Firing Union Organizer
TL;DR Summary
Starbucks has fired a shift supervisor who was instrumental in organizing one of the first stores in the coffee chain to unionize, according to Starbucks Workers United. The firing came the same week that former CEO Howard Schultz testified before Congress, where he was grilled by lawmakers for the company’s labor practices and alleged union-busting. Senator Bernie Sanders has placed pressure on Schultz’s alleged union-busting tactics, noting that Starbucks has waged the most aggressive and illegal union-busting campaign in the modern history of the US.
