Starbucks Union
In the US the IWW is attempting to unionise Starbucks workers. This is what they say about the union:
The Starbucks Workers Union is part of IU 660 - the retail worker's division of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). The Starbucks Workers Union is driven by solidarity unionism, an innovative and powerful 21st century approach to improve our life at work.
Solidarity unionism means:
* Any Starbucks worker can join the Union at anytime
* We build strength by supporting each other with direct action
* Joining the Union is affordable, only $6/month which includes a free subscription to the Industrial Worker newspaper
By becoming a member of the Starbucks Workers Union, you gain:
* Immediate access to co-workers around the country to protect you at work
* The privledges of an organization that has already won wages increases and a Christmas bonus for workers around the country
* A role in the movement of retail workers at major corporations organizing for a strong voice on the job
