Bernie Sanders grills former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz over allegations of union busting

Sen. Bernie Sanders grilled former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz on Wednesday, claiming Schultz made efforts to stop employees from unionizing to keep profits high and prevent a wage increase.

"Starbucks has waged the most aggressive and illegal union-busting campaign in the modern history of our country," Sanders, chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee said during the hearing on Capitol Hill.

The Starbucks’ founder is denying allegations that the company’s management engaged in any union busting, maintaining that the company "has not broken the law."

Nearly 300 of the company’s 9,000 U.S. stores have voted to unionize, but more than a year into negotiations, none has reached a contract agreement with the company.

Nice job Bernie on taking down that weasel.

The Starbucks employees are fighting back tears, you can tell how much it means to them. The CEO has a look of you all are going to be fired immediately after this meeting for wasting my valuable time. Absolutely sad. Amazon does the same practices when it comes to union-busting measures as well.

Can't believe we had the chance to pick Bernie for president, and instead we put an orange middle school girl and a right wing democrat in office instead.

WHY does Bernie always look Constipated?

[ivannightly]

Did you guys see Bernie Sanders agree with Bill Maher that equality is better than equity? Equity is all about forcing equal outcomes. It’s socialism/communism. Do you guys at Global news understand that there’s a difference? Every time you guys push ‘Equity, diversity and inclusion’ you guys are pushing socialism/communism.
I hope you guys at least understand what you’re doing.
