Introducing the Baltimore Ravens Boys & Girls Club at Hilton Recreation Center π
A 30,000-square-foot beacon of hope and opportunity for more than 2,000 kids and teens in West Baltimore:
This morning, Starbucks announced that CEO Howard Schultz has officially stepped down from his role of CEO - two weeks earlier than his previously announced date.
Michelle Eisen, barista from the first unionized Starbucks store, responds:
BREAKING: Starbucksβ CEO Howard Schultz officially resigned this morning, two weeks earlier than anticipated.
The billionaire returned last April to try to stop @SBWorkersUnited from growing.
Back then, there were six unionized Starbucks.
There are now 290+ unionized stores.
Iβm happy to announce that Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz has finally agreed to testify before the Senate HELP Committee. I look forward to hearing from him as to when he intends to end his illegal anti-union activities and begin signing fair first contracts with the unions.
One of the FIRST demands organizing Starbucks workers made was for the company to implement credit card tipping. Now, after almost a year of building power, putting pressure on corporate, and striking 100+ stores, we can claim VICTORY!
Direct action really does get the goods!
EXCLUSIVE: Leaked documents reveal that on Monday Starbucks will end its Covid pay policy and deny union members new sick leave benefits.
Starbucks has already been charged with illegally withholding new pay/benefits from unionized stores. https://t.co/QN0RQ00v6W
UPDATE: Starbucks workers in South Carolina were falsely accused of kidnap & assault by their manager after they presented a list of workplace demands, a sheriff's investigation confirms.
In fact, a sheriff's rep said the manager was the only one to initiate physical contact.
So glad he dropped out of the race when running for president (polled near 0%). Also grateful he did not become Hillary Clinton's Labor Secretary, as planned, after she lost the electoral college. Can you imagine???
Another heartless move by billionaire @HowardSchultz. Imagine earning a billion over the pandemic & then withholding financial benefits from people making<30k a year. Cold hearted, mean spirited, and unworthy to lead.
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
