1. Start working at Starbucks
2. Form a Union
3. Go on strike
4. Store closes. Bingo.
Everything in life should be so easy...
You have to have something seriously dysfunctional working inside your head if getting a job at Starbucks is your life mission. Then you go and fuck it up by striking? Shit, dude - where were you when they were putting the teams together for the Manhattan Project? They certainly coulda used a brainiac like you. Juss' sayin'...
Starbucks workers held a one-day strike outside a store in Atlanta in protest over working conditions.
Customers were turned away as they hoisted signs reading “People over profits,” “Seize the Beans,” and “Today’s featured drink: strikeaccino.” Workers say management has failed to engage in meaningful conversation with their newly formed union – The first at an Atlanta-area Starbucks.
Page Smith, one of the organizers at the Howell Mill Road facility , said the walkout has a “bittersweet aspect.” “Because while I’m proud of us for being so strong and coming out and striking and closing the store down for the day, it’s still sad that we are at this point.”
A Starbucks spokesperson restated the company’s anti-union stance in an emailed statement but said that it expects to engage “in good faith” with the unions that do form in its stores. The spokesperson said: “We are listening and learning from the partners in these stores as we always do across the country.” She said: “From the beginning, we’ve been clear in our belief that we are better together as partners, without a union between us, and that conviction has not changed.”
The baristas on Howell Mill Road unionized early this year, claiming a need for greater wages and more stable hours.

Bernie Sanders harshly criticized prominent fellow Democrats on Sunday, accusing his Senate colleague Joe Manchin of sabotaging the president’s agenda and rebuking Joe Biden for traveling to Saudi Arabia last week.
During an appearance on ABC’s This Week, Sanders interrupted host Martha Raddatz when she said Manchin had “abruptly pulled the plug” on supporting a scaled-back version of a spending bill that is crucial to Biden’s agenda. Manchin said he would not support provisions in the bill that increase spending to combat climate change and close tax loopholes. Democrats cannot pass the bill without Manchin’s support in a US Senate that is divided 50-50, with vice-president Kamala Harris serving as a tiebreaker in the event one is needed.

Gunman kills three in Indiana mall before being shot by armed bystander
A gunman killed three people when he opened fire in the food court of a shopping mall outside Indianapolis on Sunday before a bystander fatally shot the assailant, Greenwood Police Chief Jim Ison said.
Two other people were injured in the incident, which took place in the early evening at Greenwood Park Mall. "The real hero of the day is the citizen that was lawfully carrying a firearm in that food court and was able to stop the shooter almost as soon as he began," Ison told reporters. He described the armed bystander as a 22-year-old man.
The shooter was alone and had a rifle and several magazines of ammunition. Police did not release the names of the victims, gunman or bystander. Shoppers and mall employees scattered at the sound of gunfire or hid.

A pilot died after his plane crashed during a Portuguese firefighting operation Friday. Portugal has experienced some of the worst damage. Wildfires have already destroyed roughly 74,000 acres of land so far this year.

GA is a Right to Work state. An employer can fire a worker at will. Forming a Union at any GA business is not going to go well.
ReplyDeleteBe honest - how many "Baristas" could even tell you what the Manhattan project was all about? And, no, it's not trying to open a new ScarBuks on a street in Manhattan. Try harder.
ReplyDeleteAnd, thank God for Joe Manchin. Are you SURE he's not an Independent hiding in the Democrap Party??
Regarding the Starbucks store, do you have to be descended from a Yeti to work there?
ReplyDeletePeople work at Starbucks because the car wash wasn't hiring...
