Submitted on Mon, 07/16/2007 - 12:47pm
For the third Saturday in a row, a small group of Bay Area IWW members distributed leaflets and information to Starbucks customers, passersby, and workers at one of the many Starbucks locations in the area in solidarity with the Starbucks Workers' Union organizing campaign.
Reactions were generally positive, and the Bay Area IWW pledges to continue the practice each Saturday at approximately noon at a different location each week. So far the Bay Area IWW has visited the following Starbucks coffee houses:
- June 30, 2007 - San Francisco at Powell and O'Farrell Streets (near Union Square).
- July 7, 2007 - Berkeley at Shattuck and Kittredge near the Shattuck Cinema where the IWW currently is negotiating their first contract.
- July 14, 2007 - Berkeley at Shattuck and Cedar near Andronicos.
Please join us next Saturday at noon a location to be determined in Oakland. Call Bruce at 510-355-2261.
