I have friends in the Starbucks union. Starbucks continues to negotiate in bad faith and try to evade proper wages and labor practices through union busting and attrition tactics.
I'm angry 😡 with Starbucks also. Can we organize a consumer boycott of Starbucks that creates a bottleneck that forces them to bargain in good faith ? #shahidbolsen #middlenation
I've been boycotting for years already. Without mass action we can't move the needle.
What can I do with my audience to support mass action against Starbucks?
I took a quick look through your profile and your audience is small and you generally get low engagement but you seem earnest so I would love to help you get involved with organizing. The good news is you don't need your audience! The fastest and easiest way to get involved is to contact SWU.
sbworkersunited.org is their website. Contact them, tell them where you are and that you want to get involved. They should be able to tell you where and when you can join a picket line. You don't have to be a member of the union. Keep showing up, talk to them, know the people in your community
Bring a friend, keep bringing that friend. As your friend gets more committed and gets to know your new friends at SWU you both bring to new friends.
Talk about the time you spend on the picket line in casual conversations at work, with strangers in line at the grocery store, wherever it makes sense. Don't be preachy about it, just describe what you're doing, share interesting moments (protect the identity of strikers). Normalize it in your life
It is incorrect to give Biden and credit for workers unionizing while he was potus. If anything, they were able to do that IN SPITE of his presidency. Bandaids are not enough. We need revolution.
Biden LITERALLY put progressive people on National Labor Relations Board that made it easier to unionize. Don't ask for revolution until you are ready to eat rats -my Oxford educated high school history teacher
Sure, and then everyone clapped.
I like how at some level you know that quote is stupid as shit so you felt the need to mention it came from an Oxford educated teacher
I agree appeals to authority are weak. No need for ad hominem attacks. How much are you willing to suffer for a revolution? Here's a PhD #dremichaeljones discussing the level of suffering involved in the French Revolution? Another appeal to authority 😂
given the articles he wrote on here, he appears to be a catholic nazi. He also has a movie called "a goy's guide to world history" I'm not surprised he has a beef with the french revolution. You're right to be nervous about revolution here too if those are the beliefs you subscribe to
I'm not a #jones acolyte. I like Thomm Hartman , John Zerzan, Derrick Jensen, Chris Hedges
You’re weird.
What about the people who are already forced to eat rats?? A revolution will lead to a better life for all members of the working class. Or did you forget when Biden broke the rail strike?? And let’s be real, even if he was good on labor, Labor Zionism is still oppressive.
Biden breaking the labor strike was pathetic. Who's eating rats?
You know there are millions of homeless people in the USA, right?
I understand your anger 🤬 are you aware if Biden let railway strike continue, grocery store shelves would be empty ? How much are you willing to suffer for a revolution? Is there something proactive I can do as a middle income person to help the homeless?
Biden could have forced the employer to submit.
True, Biden acted as an agent of Big Capital not organized labor
Carney tried the same thing with the Air Canada strike. He failed.
Good. Middle income income people need to suffer a little to make them revolt. I thought Dobbs would do it, but maybe taking away their treats will do it
