Fellow Worker,

I don't know if you work for starbucks or not. But if you have ever worked for a company that provides hours-based incentives, management will often times prevent one from reaching the benefit-mass of hours. And in the case of starbucks, ALL "partners" are part-time. This precarity undermines a working person's ability to support themselves without two or three jobs.

The IWW Starbucks Workers union is probably near 100, with at least 6 stores who have went public. The IWW itself has a much larger membership, which is constantly growing through organizing in many industries.

Lastly, it is never "moranic (sic)" for one to organize at their workplace. Capitalism does not offer up democracy with lattés anymore than it does with a hammer or a truck. By organizing industrially, in ALL industries, we are creating the new world in the shell of the old.
