This week on CounterSpin: Former President Donald Trump was arrested this week, but we're going to talk about another kind of crime: the slow, steady drip drip of crime that doesn't leap out to reporters—the day-to-day crushing of workers' attempts to organize themselves to have a voice in the workplace, not just about their pay, but their well-being and their dignity. Crushing those attempts to work together is against the law—but it's not the sort of crime that elite media seem able to identify. And it's much harder to fight when the law-breaking megacorporation is as media-savvy and faux progressive as Starbucks.

Saurav Sarkar has been reporting Starbucks workers' efforts—not to quit their workplaces, but to transform them into places where they can make a living and have some say in their lives, while, yes, also giving you your cappuccino.

Sarkar writes for Labor Notes ([link removed]) , Jacobin ([link removed]) and FAIR.org ([link removed]) , among other outlets. We hear from them this week on CounterSpin.
