Dear Starbucks Management,
The more than six hundred interfaith clergy and members of the Greater New York Labor Religion Coalition stand with all the workers in their right to dignity and a living wage, and to their right to a voice at their workplce. Our religious traditions all demand respect for workers and a commitment to uphold justice for workers.
To this end, the democratic right to form or join a trade union is fundamental. Should your employees at Starbucks collectively decide to join a unionto represent them, to empower them and to better their lives and working conditions, our faith traditions and our religious leaders fully support them in that decision. We trust you will respect them if they so choose, and recognize any union they might join to represent them.
Sincerely,
Rabbi Michael Feinberg
Executive Director
Greater New York Labor Religion Coalition
