Bernie Sanders praised Starbucks workers for standing up to the company’s union busting, saying they are “an inspiration to many of us.”
Organizers at the town hall shared their experiences working at Starbucks, highlighting the company’s union busting.
The company often touts benefits like retirement funds and discounted vacations as reasons that workers don’t need to form a union, but the benefits can be so expensive that workers can’t even use them. Harris added that the company offers few forms of advancement for tenured employees. Employees with years of experience earn only 63 cents more than people who were just hired, Harris said.
