[Peace-discuss] Fw: [CentralILJwJ] DN: Costco, Starbucks and Whole Foods Fight Proposed Labor Law

Along with Walmart of course.

It suprised me about Costco, but definitely NOT Starbucks and Whole Foods.
The IWW has had lots of problems with those two pseudo-liberal / envirmomental friendly greedy capitalists, that make HUGE profits but refuse to pay their employees a living wage.
Remember this when you spend your money, hopefully else where.

from Democracy Now headlines:

Costco, Starbucks and Whole Foods Fight Proposed Labor Law

In labor news, executives from Costco, Starbucks and Whole Foods have
launched a campaign to block the passage of the Employee Free Choice
Act, which would make it easier for workers to form unions. The three
retail giants have proposed a so-called compromise bill that strips
the key portions of the legislation. The companies want to preserve
the current law that allows employers to force workers to hold a
secret ballot election before recognizing a union. Under the Employee
Free Choice Act, workers would be able form a union if a majority of
them signed a card or a petition.
