And they predicted an apocalypse for workers if the minimum wage was raised. Guess what: Workers everywhere did fine, or they got an exception to the wage hike. Businesses lie, especially in public statements like press releases. The only times they don't lie is if they would get in legal trouble for doing so: Under oath or in financial statements. So the only times they will at least make an attempt at telling the truth are under penalty of perjury or fraud.

Coffee is now a luxury, just confirm my fears. I knew a recession was coming that would last 2-3 years, and if inflation continues to surge, the Federal Reserve will likely raise interest rates soon. Inflation is causing various issues worldwide, such as food shortages, scarcities of diesel and heating fuel, and significant spikes in housing prices, leading to a potential financial market crash. This global downturn could have long-lasting repercussions. Given the current inflation rate of approximately 9%, my main worry is how to optimize my savings and retirement fund, which has remained stagnant at around $300,000, yielding almost no gains for quite some time.

No space for your book or laptop and their WiFi went form 100mbs to 1-5mbps, that’s unusable internet speed that is worst than being in third world country.

Other coffee shops won’t offer free therapy with Lyra….although I don’t think other coffee shops create a stressful work environment where you end up NEEDING to go to therapy 😂 This wouldn’t have been an issue if they kept staffing stores properly. They began cutting labor but still expecting baristas to be faster, more friendly and selling more. After a while that gets to you and you start asking yourself, “why the hell am I even here?” They also hired SO many outside-hire managers who often had ZERO good experience…once they hired a dude who was a manager at a chase bank to open a brand new drive through…he failed miserably obviously. Sooo much manager outside-hire turnover, and yet they make it so hard for baristas to rise into store managers. And some of the baristas and shift managers end up knowing more about individual store tasks than the new managers. It’s crazy.

You start by discussing a Union with your co-workers. You can start this effectivly by seeing if there is any backbone in other unions that you can join with, or boilerplate templates from various unions and labor movements that seem to be able to fit I.T.'s needs, then discuss with your co-workers the advantages to every co-worker with collective bargining, as well as the buisness I.E. with a wider pool its easier to negotiate cheaper insurance for everyone you can also get other benifits that would be compleatly too costly as just one compqny or company location etc. And the primary dis-advantage to unions to the buisness. That unions temperarly drive down stock prices, because stock brokers view unions as bad for buisness, even though they are not by any means. Do not leave that part out of disscussion because the stock prices will recover but the CEO's primary objective is to keep stock prices high, its not to the workers or the buisness's success. If high stock value means running the company straight off a cliff then thats thier job, and they will. This is also a time for you to look at a major Union alternative, worker Co-op's. They are not just for farmers, but they are attractive for farmers and possibly for IT because the farmer's tend to own the equipment and the tool and land they need to run the farms, and a co-op provides the same union benifits and can work with unions, multiple unions to gain benifits that are broader reaching then a single union. Because of the FTC ruling against non-compeates this might be an option for I.T. with the Co-op structure looking more like an employment agency, and utterly changing the face of IT forever. Its a bit more ambitious but it might not be more ambitious then a union. Heck it might be less ambitious, just be sure to check in with a lawyer before pursing that path. After you have enough willing to Unionize and have a good charter set up that most can agree too and the detractors can accept, then its time to vote to unionize. Unfortunitly I have not been present for this step, but there are tons of resources avalible to you there. I will point you towards I.W.W. for some good reasources

I WILL NOT cross a picket line. In the 90s I tried to unionize our hospital, but was unsuccessful. They were horrible, paying millions for a union busting consultants, and treating us all terribly. Every evaluation I had after that said I had a bad attitude, of course no proof. This place charges its own healthcare workers more for health insurance than the rest of the community because we can't negotiate. Now retired, they have the gall to send me mail asking me to remember them in my will.

In Italy, you walk into the bar - coffee shop - , they recognize you, you order at the counter and they make your coffee and serve it to you in an actual cup, $1.20 for an espresso, $140 for a cappuccino, you drink it, at the counter or go sit, pay for it and leave, no tipping. And the coffee is rich and flavorful. I dread returning to the US, for so many reasons.

The Starbucks nearest me fired the main union organizer. I went to support the union efforts before they had the vote, but I haven’t been back since they fired the person and it was for bogus reasons. They blamed it on something that happened like four months earlier that was a ridiculous reason to fire anyone and why would they wait four months? It was totally because they voted to unionize. So they will never get my business again.

What happened to Starbucks and when did this happen? Because Starbucks used to be the only place where you could work part-time and get full benefits. Starbucks used to be one of the few places where your same-sex partner could get benefits, even if you weren't married. The pay was a little above other places and yes they received tips. All these workers are asking for is what they already had for years and then somewhere along the way got taken away. I think it has always had the same CEO. What changed, when and why? I would love to know the answers to these questions.

@@masoncnc the workers ARE the risk takers. If an owner class person has a business fail, they typically have the capital to try again, and if not, they might at worst become worker class. If a worker class person loses their job, they're likely to lose access to housing, food, and other basic human needs.

@AnonymousAnarchist2

Correct. To better explain before some "greed is good" goon tries to bully around in the reply's; The Capital in capitalism is explicitly in refference to money growing without any work being done. Its gambling. Now to be clear, I am not opposed to gambling, but gambiling does not add wider value to society or laborers, so it is zero value added gains. The isim in capitalism means the capital is in control. Nothing in capitalism has anything to do with free markets. F.F.S. Karl Marx wrote how communism can lead to better more free markets, assuming that the state/nation/soviet union allows it. (Hint the soviet union did not, and the CCP has struggled back and forth with free markets, and I dont like states/nations anyways) Now you can do your own math here and realize that getting returns on investment is whats in control then... well, put two and two together here. If the stock market responds favorably to making toys that kill puppies it wont matter that every toy company who makes these toys will go out of buisness very shortly. They have to make the puppy killinator 2000 riiiight off that cliff and the CEO has to make public speeches about how good the childhood tramua/serial killer manufacturing machines really are for society.

Starbucks does crazy things sometimes to their customers. In the Netherlands I tried to buy and item to take home to refrigerate, so I told the guy not to heat it. He insisted that he couldn't sell it to me cold, which made no sense because it was going in the refrigerator. I got annoyed and left. In Taipei, a Starbucks made me wait for them to prepare some food, but then they told me I couldn't have plasticware for take-out, only for eat-in. They suggested I take some plasticware from the 7-11 some doors down. I got annoyed and asked for my money back. I don't understand why they go out of their way to annoy their customers.
