Joining the IWW Starbucks Union

Without a union where will all the lazy, aimless, 20 somethings who believe they are entitled to everything yet should not have to work for anything people work? Yes, they need a union! Keep lazy 20 something people off the streets, let them join a union!

Hey remember when Danny Gross was aksed by the district manager to speed it up during a rush hour and Danny slowed down because he thought it was funny. I would have fired him on the spot.

Mr_Man with your attitude against the baristas wanting to make improvements in their working conditions,you would make the IWW Union's best organizer. I support Starbucks employees to organize for better working conditions with the IWW Union.

This guy is obviously a manager. No one else could be that anti-union.

I wonder if the DM thought of actually helping during the rush?

Isn't that what Starbucks preaches?

Hands on all the way to the top?

That's a really good point, actually.
How can a manager just stand there while there are customers in line?
How can a manager just stand there and NOT be contributing to the effort to get that drink out in 3-minutes-or-less!?
Excellent point, fellow worker!

People form a union so they can work. Most of these "aimless 20 somethings" are college students that are much smarter than you. I hope you represent yourself better in your real life than you do here, because you come off as quite stupid. Why do you have this hostility? Do you feel threatened by the union? Please explain.

Please explain.[/quote]Mr.Man your comments are confusing. Baristas in New York City,Chicago,and Rockville.Maryland are organizing with the Union to make much needed improvements in all conditions of employment at Starbucks,the Wal-Mart of coffee cafes. Improvements in scheduling,wages,health care,respect,and other considerations are important to the baristas,thats why they are organizing.
