Episode 322: The Campaign Against Starbucks Heats Up!

The Working Lunch

Starbucks was in the news this week on a number of different fronts, none of them very good. This past Tuesday, workers at 21 stores filed petitions with the National Labor Relations Board to conduct elections, the most in one day since the campaign began two and a half years ago. And on top of that, a coordinated effort on college campuses has sprouted up pressuring administrators to throw Starbucks stores off campus. We will dig into the week that was for the coffee giant. We’ll talk about that and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.
