Hundreds Protest Starbucks Union-Busting Efforts; Organizers Arrested The NewStandard, NY
A rally in New York City today to protest Starbucks Coffee’s negative reaction to recent union organizing efforts ended with four arrests, including the detention of two Starbucks employees who are members of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) union branch 660 (IU 660).
Chanting "Union busting is disgusting," about 400 protesters gathered around 2:00 p.m. at a midtown Starbucks located at 36th street and Madison Avenue, proceeded to the Starbucks headquarters on the corner of the Empire State Building, and returned to the 36th street store.
The midtown store has been the center of a union organizing dispute between Starbucks and the IWW.------------------------------------------- posted 6:33 AM :: reference link ::
