I feel like someone should have responded to this, altho I'm a bit confused by the post.

In any event, this is the official site of the IWW Sbux Workers Union: http://www.starbucksunion.org/

Dear Fellow "NC" worker -

That link was in fact posted in a blog ("Starbucks: Virtual Strike") run by the local newspaper by a fellow worker in Nevada City, California. Apart from the posting, I did not hear of any live action on July 5th - maybe next time.

Starbucks apparently was up to three outlets in this semi-rural county of 44K+ residents. They have closed one outlet (the "Fouler Center?"), and are apparently considering closure of another in the ("Pineless Creek"?)  shopping mall south of Grass Valley. Hopefully there will be some follow up in the local press, although I doubt it as the "Publisher" seems to have a Starbucks logo tattooed on his rear... Maybe through the blog?

The Bay Area IWW came through like champs; demonstrating great dedication, flexibility and timely and appropriate direct action on July 5th. A credit to local organizing on the coast. I especially appreciated the stance they took with the local baristas - explaining why they were there, expression of solidarity with the fired Grand Rapids and CNT workers without unduly challenging the Starbucks employees in Alameda. Within the "liberal environment" of the Left Coast - this is a good example of an informational, community-based picket that effectively gets the word out.

The Starbucks global action in general, as well as the IWW Bay Area action in particular received national coverage on NPR coast to cost. Nice soundbyte to wake up to on a morning.

Good job, effective with seemingly relative fewer resources at hand!

OBU!
