i just hope these baristas that are joining the union realize that starbucks dosn't have to offer health insurance to part-time workers, they dont have to give partners free stock, tuition grants for college, adoption assistance funding, free weekly markout of product, discount on merchandise, free beverages while working. These are all things they do because they want to!
show me a independent coffee house that can offer all that oh and a 401k matching program. join the union and risk all this going away the union cant promise you anything but taking your money for dues.
if they are such a good labor union why do they only have 1000 members world wide?????
i dont want to come across as anti union across the board. I do believe their is a time and a place for unions. Just not in my shop while im slinging coffee
