explaining what a union is!?Submitted by Starbucksslave22 on Sat, 08/13/2005 - 7:30pm.
We all join the union for numbers of reason because we needs a voice on the job, stop managers threating workers there job for joining the union or persuade them with Sports tickets! Its nice to get to free stuff but to have a voice on job is more important because starbucks companys want to tell you when to come to work and when to go home! Lets say you just want 20 hours a weeks and decided to give you 10 hours a week and the you mention about your hours being cut to half and its not right if your tring to survive int his crazy world or you have a kid and your struggling or laying off busers because they get 40 hours week and know they relized it's to much money for a worker but they a multi-billion dollar company always finding a way to screw over a worker! Ever since i join the Industrial Workers Of The World i got paid when i was sent home an hour half before finishing my shift and my ASM told i had no option is to go home so the union sent an agrivence to the Store manager and i got paid for my hour and a half! This is example of why we need a Union! Who are we: The workers are the union we organize other workers to stick together as one big union! If we dont do something about it together the Company would used workers to make there greedy profit and continue to take away our wrokers rights! What is starbucks company hiding? They dont want to see you organize there affraid of us being in power there a multi-billion year company that can afford to give workers a living wage! If the union gets in starbucks what are the benefits can happen? The benefits that could happen is that we can access to the farmers in other countries and help them support a Union! Our pay goes up , able to apply full time or part time, Our beneifits would be more offical then just co payments, the understaffing would end, edcational needs would be given to the customers about the union, We as union don't promise anything, but we fight together to make a better change inside a work place! This union is a rank and file union and there is no union reps telling us what to do anything we do is under a vote and agreement with other workers inside the IWW! INCONCLUSION, We come together for our voice to be heard on a job enviroment in Solidarity we are like a steel chain that never brakes!
