I don't understand these corporate wide unions. Let's say we develop the worlds most awesome union at starbucks then what? Starbucks is just a great place to work now? that's it? Not a food service union or baristas union? just starbucks? What happens if starbucks goes out of business no more union? So all this work was for nothing? the idea being that people will want to be an entry level starbucks employee for the rest of their life?

only about 300k people work for starbucks, and management isn't in the union right? so were talking maybe 100k people, in temporary jobs none of them plan to keep for very long. If they do stay they'll be promoted to management and then would therefore leave the union. Whats assistant manager take 1 year maybe 2 until youre promoted?

Not to mention luxury coffee shops being the most useless thing on planet earth. honestly how many people can tell the difference in a blind taste test between starbucks and freeze dried instant coffee? I find it very strange that these corporate unions are also happening in companies normally thought of as leftish, starbucks, amazon, tesla, hipster type techie companies. Striking works because the competition is using union labor and you're not ,so you have to deal with strikes while they dont. intercorporate unions dont make any sense, the only person it could possibly benefit would be someone who plans to work an entry level position at starbucks for the rest of their lives, I couldn't imagine a greater nightmare
