I already pay enough for my ice venti non-fat chai, to which I am hopelessly addicted. No way any I want any wobblies in there messing with it.

"By terminating me on Saturday, Starbucks has shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that it's an anti-worker, anti-union company," Gross said

Because it's all about 'me.'

"I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night, alive as he could be.
'Why, Joe,' I said, 'you're ten years dead!"
I never died, said he."

I feel a sudden craving for a venti decaf latte.

Two notes:

1) I had no idea the IWW was still around.

2) Anybody who pays $5.00 for a cup of coffee is an idiot.

Being immune to caffeine addiction has its benefits.
When Starbucks goes union, I'm outta there.
Three times a week or whatever...

We are really old fa*ts if we remember the Wobblies. Was a very Communist dominated union.

PS, GLOCKs rule.

WOBBLIES? The Wobblies would be ashamed to have a bunch of metrosexual caffeine-jerks as members.

I can just hear what Joe Hill would be saying . . . and it wouldn't be polite.

Fortunately, he's dead.

I confess I don't think I've ever been in Starbucks. May I ask what a 'barista' is is? If I guess the guy behind the counter serving coffee would I be close?

WOBBLIES wobble but the won't fall down.

Search the web for the video "L For Latte". The producer visits a radical left, hate America, hate Capitalism rally and catches the looney, goofy left strolling with their lattes and goes into Starbucks to document all the ANSWER signs in the waiting line.

countered that he was simply making a statement of solidarity when he told District Manager Allison Marx that a fellow employee should not be fired.

And in continuing said that if the employee was fired there was a bag of cement that would be put to use. //sarcasm//

I forgot to ask. Why was a district manager at a union rally? That doesn't add up.

The IWW: International Workers of the World, aka "the Wobblies" was a Communist union in the teens, 20's, and 30's.

"By terminating me on Saturday, Starbucks has shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that it's an anti-worker, anti-union company," Gross said in a phone interview from New York City on Monday.

Note to Mr. Gross: Maybe Starbucks has finally awakened from their stupor to realize that unions are not good for business??? At least in most respects?
