Reply #25: Not guilty several times after a finding by an administrative law judge

I did answer the question. Eliminating the company's contribution to the 401k is a start. The fact employees are trying to get a union should be obvious enough.

And most union contracts don't allow managers to do the work of craft employees.

But since the court found managers do the same work, shouldn't everybody get managers pay?

No it is not that easy. But Starbucks is bringing in $ even though the stock is flat lined. How many socially conscious mutual funds own Starbucks?

As we heard from another DUer, Starbucks isn't the blue it says it is. Saying employees don't need a health plan when they hire those that can't get jobs elsewhere is to me, a little off base.

You don't see them pushing fair trade products either. Ask for a cup in the store. We only sell it by the pound.

BTW, Starbucks now has union shops in Mn. :-)
