Starbucks Is Bargaining Backwards, Baristas Say
www.labornotes.org
Union baristas are finally back to the negotiating table with Starbucks, but the workers charge that rather than progressing, the company is reopening already agreed-upon issues. “They're trying to move backwards on issues we've already settled instead of settling the few that we have left,” said Mina Leon, a barista in downtown Manhattan who struck for two months to get the company back to the table.

    i belong to the same union that the most of the starbucks workers are organizing through and i boggle at how much effort those workers have put into these pushes given what i’ve learned about how ineffectual and non-confrontational the seiu can be; if anyone deserves an A for effort, it would be the workers.
