by #NoahLanard in #MotherJones:
"Schultz told this sob story as part of an effort to stop his workers from joining a union. But his telling ignored how his own family was sustained, especially in this trying period, by the gains of organized labor, in the form of post-war New York’s relatively abundant public housing. The two-bedroom unit the Schultzes called home in Brooklyn’s brand new Bayview Houses, built for families who made too much to qualify for other public housing developments, was the product of a New Deal–era partnership between leftists (many of them in the labor movement) and liberal elected officials who’d embraced their views in the wake of the Great Depression. Schultz and fellow elites have rejected that alliance as they cast unions as relics rendered unnecessary by their personal benevolence. Today, a faded plaque bearing the name of Mayor Robert F. Wagner Jr.—whose father, a senator, helped pass America’s most important piece of labor legislation—is about the only sign that the city was once proud of the complex."

But the #NationalLaborRelationsBoard has issued more than 80 complaints over 278 unfair #labor practice charges against the company, and has in the past handed down rulings that Starbucks broke federal #LaborLaw.

Extremely wealthy people make their money by screwing those they stand on. Tax the rich, then eat them.

#Starbucks clearly doesn’t care that this looks like retribution, retaliation, and revenge—straight-up #unionbusting; fires longtime #Buffalo worker Lexi Rizzo, who founded #union campaign, for “tardiness.” And #howardschultz just told Congress that he isn’t busting #unions… 🦆

As Congress tried to put you in a bind
You pushed back with all your might
And said the billionaire label was unkind
You said it's not right to judge
Based on wealth that's been accrued
You reminded us all of our human worth
In a time when money was misconstrued
