Does @HowardSchultz really think he’s gonna win this?
He’s not.
Neither are Amazon, Walmart or any other companies making greedy and immoral efforts to deny their workers a fair workplace.
America is waking up: Multi-billion $ companies can afford to treat their workers well.
Sam Amato spent over a decade working as a barista for Starbucks near Buffalo, New York, and loves the company. But after he joined a union drive with Starbucks Workers United, he says the company didn’t care about his years of service — and fired him. jacobin.com/2022/08/starbuck…
