You are just a bunch of lazy assholes exploiting the death of Martin Luther King, Jr. so you can get paid to do nothing. But I guess in your world money really does grow on trees.

[bjarczyk]

In your world, corporations run the show.

What the... what an idiot. 7 bucks an hour = good paying part time job. Go to college and invest in your future if you wanna move up in the world. Or become a store manager. THey make around 40,000 a year.

lol. They are all white.

[jackriter]

The IWW was the first union to organize non white laborers.

Seems like a reach to me. Those Strikers don't look like Starbucks workers to me. How many "adults" are really baristas? It's a entry level part time job get over yourself and stop using Dr. King as an excuse to get more money.

How did the churchless Rev Sharpton and Jackson not show up this is perfect for them. You know support a cause that gets them face time but they never really investigate so 1/2 the time they end up being wrong but never admit the mistake...

I'm rambling

[MadamePC]

was this more about the pay and not the actual meaning behind holiday? Not that it should matter, but if it's merely a fiscal matter ... do you Really think they will budge?

Nice video :)

Pretty sad that Starbucks cannot give time and a half to workers on MLK day but at least the D.C. IWW has a heart and gives a shit about workers rights! Thanks to Brian and Magonistarevolt for putting this together and posting it!

[anarchiaetpax]

I was there, hour and a half later, and you guys were already leaving. :(

Stupid Metro running slow and it getting dark.
