Solidarity in Germany for the Starbucks Workers Union
Submitted on Thu, 05/24/2007 - 12:52am
The Duisburg local federation of the FAU-IWA had a stall in front of the new Duisburg Starbucks on Friday, 18th. Workers at Starbucks have been informed about the repression against their fellow-workers in the USA and about the SWU.
Many clients and people passing by were very upset about Starbucks anti-workers policy and told that they would not enter the shop again. People were as well upset about the presence of Starbucks in a brand-new luxury shopping mall in Duisburg, a poor industrial town with up to 20 percent of people without a job. Those who can read German will find more detailed information at the FAU website (http://www.fau.org/artikel/art_070519-064536) as well as some photos taken during the picket at Indymedia Germany (http://de.indymedia.org/2007/05/177523.html).
