EXCLUSIVE: In a leaked video call, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz begged managers to increase their union busting.
The billionaire CEO blasted unionizing, hourly employees as “so-called workers” and “some outside force that’s going to dictate or disrupt who we are and what we do.”

elon would send me to the incinerator for even mentioning the word union in his vicinity, i don’t think he’s gonna come to my rescue on this one :///

WHEN YOU ADOPT AN ANIMAL ITS A FINANCIAL AND EMOTIONAL RESPONSIBILITY YOU TAKE ON. THAT DOESNT GO AWAY WHEN TIMES ARE HARD. ITS LITERALLY THE SAME AS A CHILD. DID YOU TRY
@JordynP_W
i would work 20 hours a week if starbucks wouldn’t cut my hours because of my union activity. benefits are only as good as they are accessible and starbucks is barring us from accessing benefits on purpose.
@aCorns__
LMAOOO i literally used to be meaner to the siren as a customer, like early days of the pandemic stuff and i never got blocked! guess unions the bad word here
@stubbysquidd
If you can’t afford the responsibility of a pet on all fronts don’t have one, full stop. It’s inhumane to leave them behind because you “can’t afford to bring them with” you have time to prepare in the event of something like a hurricane. Go ahead
@GJHSEOK
the mirrors closer bc cameras compress a 3D image (your face) into a 2D medium so to do that, some of your features get distorted, the shape of your nose usually gets the worst of it but it can make your cheeks and jaw look different than your IRL too

I wish existing as a trans person wouldn't always be a suffering contest between trans men and trans women who face equal scrutiny from the world, in different ways. the plight of trans women is not the same as the plight of trans men but both are equally egregious

please tell your daughter she's doing a great job! I can't imagine with all these entitled folk pretending their rights are being infringed upon by having to wear face coverings, the amount of stress she harbors:(

my 2 years of working at a private insurance company was more radicalizing than anything else i could have gone through. the pain you hear in peoples voices when you’re effectively sentencing them to a life of pain and sickness while you’re powerless to stop it
I wrote about how insurance companies use "prior authorizations" to deny essential care & spoke to someone who wound up in a job issuing those denials because he needed healthcare.
Then his own claims were denied, leaving him with permanent nerve damage.
happy anniversary to the day Elmwood avenue starbucks became the first unionized starbucks location, one year, hundreds of stores filed and unionized later and

i can’t tell if you’re a bot but the point is bella thorne tanked the viability of OF as a SW platform by baiting people into purchasing falsely advertised content (ie said she was posting nudes but there weren’t any) and the chargebacks cost creators their time and income

okay but 5 dollars on a bad day might overdraw my bank account. money is not an object to the Kardashians. working class people should not be held to the same standard of charity that the boundlessly wealthy should be held to

wait does this mean you should cut your hair? if tshirts are masculine then by that same logic, long hair is feminine and you should Be A Man and cut it. looks like shit anyway.
Congratulations to the Starbucks workers in Buffalo, Rochester & Brighton, New York for successfully voting to form unions in 3 more coffee shops. Starbucks workers have now won 13 of 14 union elections. I am so proud of what they are accomplishing. Keep up the great work!
if sbucks wanted to actually be partners for partners, they wouldn’t put its partners through exhausting meetings and constant corporate oversight: to be a partner means to allow partners the option to collectively bargain if they don’t feel adequately represented
This is the

I have so much respect for speed at which this decision was made. Preying on minors is not something that should be tolerated in this industry in the slightest.
@cheemeezu
the only reason i didn’t think anything of it in 2013 was because i was also 17 and was like “damn maybe i do have a chance” the culture was weird and is still weird but i’m glad we’re shifting toward acknowledging these events as awful and wrong
the only way to co-create a future as partners is by getting to the bargaining table and establishing a contract with the stores who have won their union elections, and by ending union busting at all of your stores around the country.
“...we will strengthen the Starbucks community by upholding each other’s dreams; upholding the standards and rituals of the company; celebrating partner individuality and voice; and upholding behaviors of mutual respect and dignity.”
i’ve gained a lot of followers over the last couple days union posting and i’m happy bc i love to do it but i need you all to know i’m GOING to talk about anime and genshin impact on the TL. i’m not some one trick pony i’m a Hu Tao main😤

@nina_rae_x
the person who’s promoting their OF with this tweet is calling fake SWers such because they’re attempting to destroy the industry so they can play pretend. i don’t understand how you’re not pissed
can't believe Buffalo wants to use nearly $150 MILLION dollars to suit up our police so they can play army, meanwhile streets are undrivable, healthcare workers are reusing PPE, and the Buffalo Public School system is wholly underfunded. we are NOT taking this. defund Buffalo PD

if you're not comfortable with sex work don't date a sex worker! different strokes, but sex work is just as legitimate a profession as any other and I think people are only uncomfortable with their partner doing it for selfish reasons

it is explicitly white woman behavior to give mouth to mouth to a wild animal after letting their habitat destroyer out of the house, keep your cats indoors and perfectly preventable things won't happen💕
Two nights ago I gave a wild baby rabbit CPR w breaths after I took it from my Petey (cat). Today, I’m being admitted to the hospital with signs of “bunny fever” (Tularemia). I’m on 8L oxygen, a cocktail of very expensive antibiotics, anti-diuretics. Need light & love, please!

i love cooking! but i also know if i come home after a long day and i'm starving, i will SNAP if i have to endure 45 minutes of prep and cooking for meal time. having access to affordable quick shit is essential. food is essential!
do you think if everyone asks sbux to stop union busting that they’ll deactivate their twitter account or do you think they’ll just block all of us? it seems easier to delete the account at this point

this is why men don’t report/are under represented in stats pertaining to sexual violence. get some fucking compassion. it is NEVER the fault of the victim, what the fuck is wrong with you??

nope it’s because asian women are women and not to be infantilized, you don’t see people doing that shit to white women. i hope you deactivate and go outside soon✨

arrogance and narcissism are completely different. it’s one thing to be pompous but you’re right ronnie IS a narcissist. he is a textbook manipulator and literally an accessory to a murder carried out by one of his buddies. not everyone deserves redemption just bc they ask for it
quitting starbucks feels good. they can keep me blocked though🥰 i still want a starbucks union and i’m still going to be involved in labor organizing. i can’t not be.
the way that automating frozen drinks will actually add more time because you can't batch fraps, which despite it being against company policy to do, is the only way baristas can get cold bar orders out in the "appropriate" window time.
Starbucks annual sales is ~$40B across 37k+ stores.
At such scale, it’s very profitable to shave a few seconds off each order.
Per Bloomberg, Starbucks would make an extra ~$900m a year if each store served 5 extra patrons per day.
That’s why Starbucks is spending $450m on a

i’ve been so in love with this movement at starbucks to take back democracy at the workplace. i’ve been a big lover of the coffee industry for many years and dream of having my own co-op run coffee shop, this is the first step to that imo
It's crazy how liberals see a perfectly levelheaded and rational response to our current sitting president signing blank checks for genocide, and are like "this clearly is not a reasonable person"
