Starbucks has launched a new anti-union website full of misinformation and propaganda after more than 80 stores have filed to unionize.
in a unionizing store in Memphis, Tennessee; Starbucks Workers United says that these workers represented the entirety of the store’s organizing committee.
Murray believes that the website could ultimately work against the company because it exposes talking points that employees can anticipate hearing at anti-union meetings that they are required to attend. The website “makes the public aware of all their messaging, coming directly from Starbucks,” said Murray. “It’s not just us reporting, and now Starbucks is putting it out there for everyone to see.
The website answers the question by saying that pro-union workers can sometimes “be annoying” in discussing unionization, and encourages workers to talk to management or call a company hotline to talk about an organizer or otherwise. However, Murray said that he hasn’t heard of anyone being harassed by organizers and that pro-union employees take care to be understanding of differing opinions.
