Wobblies try to unionize a Starbucks in New York By Thomas Ginsberg, Knight Ridder
Starbucks Coffee, a corporate icon of success and style since the 1990s, is confronting a legendary warrior for labor rights from the 1920s.
The Wobblies, otherwise known as the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), a leftist labor organization founded in 1905 and now based in Philadelphia, has taken initial steps toward unionizing a Starbucks coffee shop in New York City — the first in the United States.
If it succeeds, the group could score a notable public-relations victory for labor. It might even encourage more organizing in the hard-to-unionize service industry.------------------------------------------- posted 6:43 AM :: reference link ::
