(en) Grand Rapids Starbucks Union and Spanish CNT* Announce a Global Day of Action!
Date
Wed, 28 May 2008 10:02:14 +0300
Grand Rapids Starbucks Union and Sevilla, Spain CNT have announced a Global Day
of Action against Starbucks July 5th ---- Day to protest recent firing of CNT
member in Spain and continuing anti-union discrimination in Grand Rapids --- The
Union of Comerical and Hotel workers CNT-AIT in Sevilla, Spain along with the
Grand Rapids Starbucks Workers Union (IWW) have announced a Global Day of Action
scheduled for July 5th. The two groups are asking social organizations, unions,
and individuals from around the world to promote and participate in this day of
action. ---- On April 24th, 2008 a barista named Monica was fired for her union
activity from a Starbucks in Sevilla, Spain. She was a member of the Union of
Commercial and Hotel Workers of the Confederacion Nacional de Trabajadores
(CNT). Now with the support of all CNT affiliates, the International Workers
Association, and the Starbucks Workers Union (IWW) they are demanding justice
for Monica.
The treatment of Monica in Spain by Starbucks is similar to the charges of
anti-union discrimination being investigated by the National Labor Relations
Board in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This new Grand Rapids investigation comes less
than a year since Starbucks signed a settlement agreement with the NLRB claiming
they would end intimidation against baristas interested in joining the Starbucks
Union.
The Grand Rapids Starbucks Workers Union (IWW) calls on everyone interested in
social justice and worker's rights to confront global coffee giant Starbucks on
July 5th with international solidarity. For Monica in Spain, for baristas in
Grand Rapids, and for coffee farmers around the globe.
Grand Rapids Protest:
4 pm July 5th
Starbucks at 28th St. and East Beltline
The CNT of Sevilla have produced a weblog for the Day of Action (in spanish):
