Happy Labor Day, John!!

As workers across the nation band together to unionize at the fastest pace
since the Great Depression, large corporations, including Starbucks, are
scrambling to stop progress on workers’ rights by engaging in outright
union-busting tactics.

Right now, even though over 220 Starbucks locations have voted to unionize
since December, only three of these locations have begun contract
negotiations.

What is really upsetting about Starbucks refusing to recognize or
negotiate with the Starbucks Workers United union is that any money spent
on their blatant union-busting is not only legal, it is tax deductible! 

The No Tax Breaks for Union Busting Act would deny employers a tax
deduction for any money spent influencing their employee's labor
organization activities, including elections, labor disputes, and
collective actions.

[ [link removed] ]It’s clear that the only thing that will prevent companies like
Starbucks from retaliating against unionizing workers is a strong
grassroots movement joining the fight to protect and expand workers’
rights. Take action to become a grassroots co-sponsor of the No Tax Breaks
for Union Busting Act now!

While Labor Day is a day to honor and recognize the American labor
movement and its contributions to workers across the United States we must
also double down on the fight to protect and expand workers’ rights.

Thanks for standing with workers today,
