Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Does anyone know if there's a way to identify nearby unionized stores? I'd like to only go to my unionized Starbucks or unionized Trader Joe's, if there's any of those close to me.

Jesus christ, first time visiting that horrible site I’m greeted with a purple, full page, text box to submit my email address to “never miss a new video”.. what the fuck? Who in their right mind sits down and says “yes, this is just what we need”

[–] Ersatz86@lemmy.world 28 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Holy shitsnacks! You are unfortunately correct. I was not bludgeoned by the purple sledgehammer the first visit.

Here, try this alternative, now with less retina syphilis (they still ask for email tho) :

Oh shit, my regular store is unionized, that’s fuckin fantastic.

Lucky! Mine is too far for convenience, which is the whole point of Starbucks coffee.

Do you think those are search results you're reading?

[–] CosmicTurtle@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Free. Your. Browser.

I'm sorry but are we eating the onion with this website?

To demonstrate its good faith to understandably skeptical workers, the company also agreed to let them receive credit card tipping

Have the baristas not been getting credit card tips?!?!

Just looked it up. Starbucks I guess recently added the tipping option to stores but didn't enable that at union stores.

Holy fuck. So Evil.

[–] TruthAintEasy@kbin.social 46 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Good. Every hourly job should be unionized

Think they might win their lawsuit to make all of us slaves?

[–] dantheclamman@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Agreed. But it's likely because Howard Shultz finally handed over the reins. He is such an anti-union ideologue that he was willing to risk the health of his own company rather than make a deal

I've stopped going to Starbucks since the union busting began. None of my locations are unionized.

I will return once they are.

[–] CobblerScholar@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

I'm not sure I would go back even if they are unionized. It's shitty coffee made by a chain that is very eager to ignore labor laws that are inconvenient. I'll stick with my local coffee shops that actually give a shit

[–] figjam@midwest.social 4 points 8 months ago

I stopped going to them because their coffee is gross. Additionally the line in the morning clogs the street i take to get to work.
