The only thing harder than winning a union election against a mega-corporation is winning a first contract. So it’s not surprising that countless skeptics suggested that Starbucks workers wouldn’t be able to muster enough power to force management to the table. Thankfully, Starbucks baristas and organizers ignored their critics. And this week, it paid off.
Great article, capturing many of the most important lessons of this important and innovative campaign.
Inspiring article Eric, thank you!!❤️
Excellent as always. I wonder how much SWU & WU getting Starbucks to the bargaining table owe to the momentum created by them, ALU, the IBT and UAW.
And how much further in the future before we see union growth?!!
