Members of the Permanent Secretariat of CNT have made a type of preagrees with the Director of Human Resources and the Director of working relations of Mercadona on saturday, 5th of August in Madrid which was meant to be ratified on tuesday, 8th of August in Sevilla terminating the strike by this way.

The DC IWW picketed the Dupont Circle Starbucks today from 6:30 pm until 8:00 pm. The workers seemed to appreciate our presence and thanked us for our support. One said "I'm with you." Over the course of an hour and a half five Wobblies and three supporters handed out about 300 flyers and collected more than 50 signatures on a petition demanding that Starbucks re-hire the fired workers. We hope to hold future pickets on a bi-weekly basis.

Re: Reinstatement of Daniel Gross
Dear Jim:
My union the Amalgamated Lithographers of America Local One from New York City, an affiliate of the Graphic Communications Conference of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (GCC-IBT), has been notified of the unionbusting tactics being committed by Starbucks. We are here to inform you we stand 100% behind our Sisters and Brothers who are members of the IWW who are exercising their rights by engaging in concerted protected activities.
You must cease and desist such capricious and arbitrary behavior and activities you are illegally engaged in by violating the rights of workers to exercise their democratic right to organize and bargain collectively:

Compañer@s,
El Comité de Solidaridad Internacional siempre se ha esforzado por ser buen compañero con ustedes ayudándoles en sus luchas. Hoy nos toca pedirles ayuda en esta lucha que sostenemos.
Como muchos sabrán, trabajadores miembros del IWW han estado organizando en las cafeterías Starbucks. En los últimos años han tenido victorias en sus puestos de trabajo y han combatido la represión por parte de la empresa la cual claudicó temiendo manchar su imágen pública.
La intimidación más reciente para disuadir a los trabajadores de afiliarse al IWW ha sido el despido de dos miembors en dos cafeterías de Nueva York. Evan Winterscheidt, con dos años de trabajo en la tienda de la calle 14 y 6a Avenida, y Charles Fostrom en la tienda de la calle 57 y Lexington Ave. Han sido despedidos debido a su afiliación en el IWW.
