That's the thing here: Starbucks hasn't even started negotiations with ANY of the nationwide shops that unionized. They simply raised pay for all shops except ones that voted to unionize, telling these "union shops" they'd have to wait for negotiations to work out their pay raises.

In particular to the Shelburne location: all the union-planning employees have left (revolving door) and none of the current employees want to step up to represent the store during talks...not that Starbucks is even ready to talk.

Lol lies I have to tell myself to sleep at night. Because I'm an informed consumer that makes decisions based upon who I'm actually doing business with instead of just blindly being complicit, that's why you said that. Nice retort, would you also say you were just doing your job working at a concentration camp?

That’s a reasonable position.

If the wages were better, the revolving door effect wouldn’t be present as much. Perhaps they accepted less than they should have because their leverage was low or they undervalued themselves. These one-off outlier shops are really hard to gauge the metrics that drive the outcomes. I think unions should be present from the most unskilled jobs to the most. That’s the only thing that will ever shift the power dynamic from the bourgeoisie class to the people.

You are on the internet so your device has a battery made from elements mined by child slave labor in a third world country. Your biodiesel had a precursor which was either sourced from a large conglomerate and harvested using petroleum products or do you only use fat from your own harvest to make it? Your self righteousness is refreshing but completely naive.
