In the last 4 union elections, Starbucks has lost in embarrassing shutouts: 17-0, 20-0, 11-0, 14-0 If I were a Starbucks shareholder, I'd be asking why the hell is Starbux forking over millions & millions to its anti-union law firm, Littler Mendelson, which keeps losing BIGTIME

Breaking--Even though the NLRB says it's illegal for Starbucks to give certain raises & benefits to its non-union employees, but not its unionized ones, Sbux defies the NLRB & now promises even more benefits to non-union baristas, but not to unionized ones

Important > Looks like Biden's National Labor Relations Board may finally be moving toward declaring that Uber & Lyft drivers & DoorDash delivery workers are not independent contractors who can't unionize, but are instead employees with a right to unionize

Starbucks seems to be playing dirtier and dirtier. They’re trying as hard as they can to tell their “partners,” If you seek to unionize, bad stuff might suddenly happen to you. Your store might close. You might get fired. Your hours might get reduced. You might not get that raise

America's exceptionally bad treatment of workers could speed the spread of the Coronavirus The U.S. is the ONLY wealthy nation that doesn't guarantee all workers paid sick leave, paid family leave & health coverage. This means many workers go to work sick

"Kavanaugh’s apoplectic, ultra-partisan opening statement should alone disqualify him. If he’s innocent his anger is understandable—But there’s no way a man who rails against Dems for seeking “revenge on behalf of the Clintons” can even feign impartiality"

So how does Starbucks mark Black History Month? It fires a bunch of Black baristas who are backing a unionization effort in Memphis, the city where Dr. King was killed while supporting Black sanitation workers' right to form a union.

It has been the case since as far as I can remember in business and in media that family was off limits, unless of course the family is directly involved in the business. The code of the road was that you can attack the protagonist as much as you want, but not his wife and not

More Trump BS — Under Obama, the jobless rate fell from 10.0% peak to 4.8% when Trump was inaugurated. Under Trump, it has fallen to 3.9%. More jobs were created during Obama's last 19 months than during Trump's first 19 months. The Dow rose 148% under Obama, 40.7% under Trump.

@jaketapper @PressSec Maybe Sanders is too obtuse to understand Congress has many staffers who are experts on the tax code -- folks who are probably a lot smarter than Sarah Sanders and Donald Trump and who understand the tax code far better than Trump does.
