Solidarity Global Day of Action Against Starbucks
|
11.00am Saturday
Starbucks 295 Swanston St Melbourne On the 24th of april 2008, our comrade Mónica, barista at the multinational Starbucks, was fired. The district manager itself, Tomas Pinto, recognized the unfairness of the dismissal, and declared that her "profile was not suitable for what they were looking for". The surprising thing is that he drew that conclusion after a year and a half working for the company. It is not the first time that Starbucks puts down workers. In the United Status of America this company has a great history of dismissals and union busting against the workers of the revolutionary union IWW (Industrial Workers of the World). From the Union of Commerce of the CNT of Sevilla we are not going to allow union busting against our comrade, and we are going to fight against her reinstatement. The CNT declared war against Starbucks, and we are starting an international campaign with the solidarity of the International Workers Association and other grassroots unions such as the IWW. |
