Companies like Starbucks and REI keep saying they aren’t anti-union. Their heavy handed union busting shows that they’re lying

The National Labor Relations Board lodged a formal complaint against Starbucks this week—alleging the company illegally retaliated against two pro-union baristas at its a Phoenix store. It’s heartening to see a pro-worker NLRB take on these despicable anti-union tactics for once.

Today, we learned that Kevin Johnson will be stepping down as Starbucks CEO & Howard Schultz will return as interim CEO. We encourage Howard Schultz, who has been a leader of Starbucks’ anti-union campaign, to put union-busting behind him and embrace Starbucks’ unionized future.

Trucking used to be a solid, good-paying union job. But over the decades, government deregulation allowed shipping companies to erode truckers’ rights, misclassify them as contractors, and gut their wages & benefits.

A friendly reminder that policy like the “Don’t Say Gay” bill in Florida and the anti-trans directive in Texas won’t stop kids from being queer–it will just force them into hiding.

Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill is a sweeping gag law that seeks to erase LGBTQ families from the classroom.

But its proponents keep lying about what it actually says. So I invite you on a journey into the text, with a brief grammar lesson along the way. https://t.co/DVaLh0CFKl
