E-Mail Action: Starbucks Must Honor MLK Day in 2008
Submitted on Thu, 12/20/2007 - 10:16pm
Dear Starbucks Union Activists,
Please join the IWW Starbucks Workers Union call for the coffee giant to honor Martin Luther King Day in 2008 by paying the same holiday premium that it pays for several other federal holidays to baristas who work.
While Starbucks claims a commitment to racial diversity and pays a holiday premium on federal holidays including the Fourth of July and New Year's Day, baristas receive no added compensation for working through the MLK Day holiday.
-Urge Starbucks to pay the holiday premium on January 21st by participating in the SWU E-Mail Action at http://www.starbucksunion.org/node/1919
-For more action ideas and to learn more about the SWU's MLK Day Initiative log on to http://www.starbucksunion.org/node/1914
Thank you for all of your hard work. Together we win.
In Solidarity,
SWU, Organizing Committee
