☕️ Starbucks’ union-buster-in-chief really biffed it yesterday
Howard Schultz, Starbucks’ extremely recently former chief executive, is many things to many people. To thousands of organizing Starbucks workers, he’s a nice suit filled with paperback copies of Confessions of a Union-Buster. To readers a certain independent boozeletter, he’s an “unctuous peen” whose sneering mismanagement of a precarious workforce has spurred a brushfire organizing model that beverage-alcohol workers might imitate. To presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, he was a good pick for Secretary of Labor, which, probably a lesson there.
