☕ Support Starbucks Workers United ☕
|
Starbucks is unionizing in Atlanta! Support Atlanta Starbucks Workers United by placing an order with the name "UNION YES!" Stop by the Starbucks in The District at Howell Mill (1801 Howell Mill Rd. Atlanta, GA 30318) to let them know the community backs the union!
While there's no ethical consumption under capitalism, community solidarity can build workers' confidence in the union drive and preempt corporate from repression! As Marx said, "What the bourgeoisie therefore produces, above all, are its own grave diggers." ⚰
