Starbucks abruptly fired seven union supporters at a store in Memphis, Tennessee on Tuesday in what the union says is a retaliatory purge of the organizing committee. The firings mark a significant escalation in the battle between the world’s largest coffee chain and the fast-growing Starbucks Workers United campaign. Our show today features reports on that campaign from across the Labor Radio Podcast Network.
We begin with The Check Out, which back in October featured an interview with two of the Starbucks baristas who started this whole movement in Buffalo, New York. On yesterday’s Your Rights At Work, we talked with Virginia Starbucks organizer Kat Wiggers about why that state has suddenly become a hotbed of union organizing. Then, Work Stoppage, which covered the campaign back in January, when it had spread to two dozen locations, and then did an update in Thursday’s show after last week’s firings. And, on America’s Workforce Radio, labor lawyer Joyce Goldstein provides some insight into recent changes at the National Labor Relations Board that have facilitated the Starbucks organizing drive.
Highlights from labor radio and podcast shows around the country, part of the national Labor Radio Podcast Network of shows focusing on working people’s issues and concerns.
