TechnoratiWhat Do Starbucks and Wal-Mart Have in Common?
Both corporate giants have long track records of harassing their workers when it comes to joining unions. Harassment and intimidation are illegal under Federal law, and we won't stand for it. Tell Howard Schultz, Starbucks' billionaire owner, to respect the people who work for Starbucks.
Sign the memo to Mr. Schultz: http://stopstarbucks.com
In 2005, we took on Wal-Mart for their assault on workers with Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price. Now we are exposing Starbucks' atrocious labor practices in our newest campaign, Stop Starbucks.

Show AllI have heard it said that both this bad java joint and the golden arches are huge contributors to AIPAC and that Isrealis citizens own controlling blocks of stock. I don't know if it's true, but I've been boycotting both of them since I heard that.
This labor scandal, makes me believe it's likely. CEO criminals only stop when they pull an ENRON.
If the labor charges were untrue, I'm sure the mud lawyers would make youtube take it down. But since I can use google: I see that it appears true. A link is too long to post. type "Starbucks labor violations" and hit the news buttton.

Whether this is true or not it smacks too much of propaganda for my taste.
I really hate those conservative internet mailings and slide shows that are loaded with 1/2 truths. If what is within this spot is true (and I hope it is) then it would be really great to adopt a less sensationalist style.
