What do Starbucks and Wal-Mart have in common?

http://stopstarbucks.com

Both corporate giants have long track records of harassing their workers when it comes to joining unions. Harassment and intimidation are illegal under Federal law, and we won't stand for it. Tell Howard Schultz, Starbucks' billionaire owner, to respect the people who work for Starbucks.

Sign the memo to Mr. Schultz: http://stopstarbucks.com

In 2005, we took on Wal-Mart for their assault on workers with Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price. Now we are exposing Starbucks' atrocious labor practices in our newest campaign, Stop Starbucks.

Firing employees even for just TALKING about unions or unionizing?? That's just sick! What are they so afraid of? A level playing field? Being held accountable?

The first rule of Starbucks is, you DO NOT TALK about Unions. Second rule of Starbucks... if today's your first night, you must brew.

$7.75?! thats so much more than the average wage of US$5 an hour for baristas in Singapore.

@Goodmusicvideos I took into account rent & utilities, not the stock multiple though. The point is not that the bottom of the barrel wages go up, but that wages could rise across the board. Market prices define whats available for labor wages, but the ceo's greed defines their own wages independent of demand. They take whatever they want by reducing wages or hrs with no regard for the people that really keep the business going, If no one is slinging joe, there is no dough.

@eyeammi yeah ok.. and rent electricity gas water security stock multiple manager salary? They are pouring coffee in a cup, they can make their 15 by doing a good job and adding a tip cup. they should not be getting anywhere close to 20 dollars an hour for making a cup of coffee.. if you work at a place like that, Buks dunks BK etc. you know what you are getting into. That's the problem with America and unions today They feel like they are owed something and deserve more.For shit work

Americas biggest problem company, If the U.S could get them to pay people a decent wage we might be okay. They make billions of dollars a year off of slave wages, cutting workers hours, and using government money for their "Health care plan" which is simply telling employees to go get on welfare! Fuck Walmart! I hope they burn in hell!

One day I was bored & decided to estimate SB operations of a single store & how much money they made in sales on a given day. From my estimates, they could be fully staffed, send 50% of the profit to corporate & still pay each & every store employee $15 to $20/hr.

When will these fat cats learn, that without brick & mortar employees, there IS NO $tarbucks & that a well paid public leads to a vibrant & active economy? The greed of the few at the expense of the many will be the downfall of the US.
