> A group of Starbucks workers organizing with the
> Industrial Workers of the World have sparked a
> national campaign to unionize the world’s largest
> coffee chain.  The workers and their allies have a
> vision of a groundbreaking union campaign that
> seriously challenges prevailing organizing paradigms.
> Instead of a select group of staff organizers taking
> on Starbucks, it will take a social movement to defeat
> this company.  Imagine for a moment a fighting union
> of retail workers and what a constructive force in
> society that would be.
>
> There is no doubt that a multi-dimensional approach to
> organizing Starbucks must include a student-led
> strategy.  Given the characteristics of Starbucks’
> employment model, students are uniquely positioned to
> make a substantial contribution to this campaign.
>
> A national student coordinating body is forming to set
> the overall strategic direction of the effort.  Please
> sign onto the organizing list at
> http://groups.yahoo.com/group/starbuckscampaign to get
> involved.  For more information, please contact the
> Campaign at starbuckscampaign at yahoo.com.  To learn
> about the Starbucks Workers Union, check out
> http://www.starbucksunion.org and
> http://www.iww.org/unions/iu660/starbucks.
>
> Finally, if you plan to be in New York during the
> Republican National Convention, please join the
> Campaign, the Starbucks Workers Union and Rev. Billy
> in a march from the Starbucks at 36th and Madison in
> Midtown Manhattan (6 train to 33rd St.), where workers
> first announced the Union, to the Starbucks Regional
> Headquarters at 33rd and 5th Ave., where the company
> coordinates its anti-union campaign, at 2:00 pm on
> Saturday, August 28.
