Starbucks coffee union pitch is bitter WashTimesOpEd
According to Starbucks Workers United, the coffee company’s new labor union, employees at over 150 locations are participating in “Strike With Pride.”
These complaints come in pursuit of a larger issue: a new income stream from forced union dues. The potential billions in union revenue justify harassment and intimidation of employees. In the event of an impasse, the union can pressure employers by taking employees out on strike to force a deal. For most employees, a strike and picket lines are not the benefits package the union promised.
The real losers in this company vs. union drama are the Starbucks employees. While the company regularly increases pay and benefits for the nonunionized 97% of their stores, the law suggests they can’t treat union employees similarly until the union and company agree on compensation .
