The broadcast will discuss Liza Featherstone's recent Notion post (http://www.thenation.com/blogs/notion?pid=196455) detailing new legal and political troubles for Starbucks over its treatment of its workers and its anti-union efforts.
In New York, the National Labor Relations Board has accused Starbucks of violating workers' freedom of association in about thirty different ways, including illegally firing, threatening and disciplining workers for supporting the union. Managers forbade workers from talking about the union -- even when off-duty -- or wearing union buttons. The trial against Starbucks is in July. Liza Featherstone, author of , will report from the trial for her blog. Liza will be joined in studio by Pete Montalbano, a Starbucks barista and IWW member who is a veteran of the campaign.
