Ex-Starbucks Worker Jaysin Saxton Describes Being Fired After He Helped Organize Union

"(listen to) Jaysin Saxton, one of the witnesses who testified at the Senate hearing Wednesday on Starbucks’ union-busting record.
Saxton was a former Starbucks shift manager, fired after leading the union drive at a store in Augusta, Georgia. He tells Democracy Now! he and fellow workers were motivated to organize their store to address the “insane” working conditions, including understaffing and inconsistent schedules.
“There’s no stability in how much you’re earning and how many hours you’re getting, so you can’t afford to pay your bills, and you have to choose between gas and food,” says Saxton.

"Just weeks after the National Labor Relations Board accused Starbucks of engaging in “egregious and widespread misconduct” to prevent employees from unionizing, the company’s longtime CEO Howard Schultz appeared before the Senate’s Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee on Wednesday to answer questions. Committee Chair Bernie Sanders of Vermont grilled Schultz on the company’s union-busting record and demanded an end to retaliation against workers."

Congratulations and well done to Uniting Vic.Tas and Wesley Mission who both testified at the Senate Select Committee Cost of Living Inquiry on Wednesday.

Their testimony about the experiences of front line staff helping people in the community will inform the Senate Committee's report to the Parliament on how the rising cost of living is impacting our most vulnerable people.
