MY letter to the CEO of Starbucks….
I’m writing to you as a Starbucks customer to let you know that I stand in solidarity with Starbucks Workers United during their strike.
I was one of the FIRST to stand in line to get a Starbucks coffee back in 1971, and I have literally spent thousands of dollars to support an “ethically sourced” company.
NOW, you can’t be ethical and pay your EMPLOYEES a decent wage, assure them of hours that they DESERVE in order to get healthcare.
I’ve deleted the Starbucks app from my phone, and I won’t be shopping at Starbucks for the duration of this strike OR possibly EVER AGAIN... AND I will urge EVERYONE to follow my lead and DENOUNCE a billionaire corporation that can’t afford to give the WORKERS, that made it great, a livable wage or hours or healthcare.
YOU earned $93 MILLION in your first YEAR at Starbucks as CEO. YOU alone could afford to give these people some dignity and GOOD working conditions and pay!
I urge you to work with the union to make Starbucks a great place to get coffee again.
Sincerely,
“Dingo” Dave Bartmess - followed by TENS of thousands on my publications online...
They face $15 / hour or less in wages, inconsistent hours scheduled (so they don’t KNOW if they’ll earn enough for expenses!), and NO healthcare, because the corporate line is to KEEP them at 19 hours a week, instead of the 20 that is REQUIRED by the corporate agreements to get HEALTHCARE…
AND their commitment to “ethically sourced beans” is QUESTIONABLE at best..
Despite its apparent commitment to buying ethically sourced coffee, Starbucks has faced allegations of purchasing from farms and plantations that use child labor [ https://substack.com/redirect/067fcb9e-f303-46af-ab79-e7f8a145b869?j=eyJ1IjoiNmo2MnZsIn0._7qGpGeoVRdmVha-rxxZB7_HpvDOxkaS-4KcLx9Yt7I ] and slave labor [ https://substack.com/redirect/d3300307-96c9-498e-a70f-1870f5dfa66a?j=eyJ1IjoiNmo2MnZsIn0._7qGpGeoVRdmVha-rxxZB7_HpvDOxkaS-4KcLx9Yt7I ] or that house workers in unsanitary conditions. In 2018 and 2019 two Starbucks Coffee and Farmer Equity (C.A.F.E.) plantations in Brazil [ https://substack.com/redirect/f6da4614-874e-4d5b-a813-f24ad2fe903d?j=eyJ1IjoiNmo2MnZsIn0._7qGpGeoVRdmVha-rxxZB7_HpvDOxkaS-4KcLx9Yt7I ] were found to have “slavery-like” conditions, and an investigation in 2020 found children under the age of 13 were working on five Guatemalan farms that supply Starbucks.
In addition, unlike for Fair Trade–certified coffee, Starbucks C.A.F.E. practices do not have a minimum guaranteed price for farmers, farms are not required to be small scale, and community development is not democratically administered by the farmers themselves. These facts have been used to argue that the C.A.F.E. practices are more to satisfy consumer consciences than to actually benefit coffee producers and alleviate poverty [ https://substack.com/redirect/a34b3ba5-6b2b-4d72-8b82-e9ea89d159c9?j=eyJ1IjoiNmo2MnZsIn0._7qGpGeoVRdmVha-rxxZB7_HpvDOxkaS-4KcLx9Yt7I ].
In the words of former CEO Howard Schultz:
“We’re not in the coffee business serving people. We’re in the people business serving coffee.”
Well, NOT in the past 15 YEARS…. They’re in the “accumulation of wealth for the top 1%” business, and don’t GIVE A DAMN about THEIR “people”.
I HOPE everyone will join me, and thousands of Starbucks customers, and FIGHT the oligarchy in their EXPLOITATION of their own workers!
Thanks!
“Dingo” Dave

Warning

Almost all the messages that arrive here are garbage! Resist the urge to click on any unexpected or questionable links.

It may happen that e-mail will claim to come from liamon.com, especially from some administrative role or process. These are certainly garbage. There are no accounts to expire. There are no passwords to leak. There aren't administrators sending messages to liamon.com addresses. These are certainly phishing attempts.

Absolutely ignore those links!
