The Right to Organize: Starbucks Workers Stand Strong in the Face of Firings

The Right to Organize: Starbucks Workers Stand Strong in the Face of Firings

On today's episode Walter Smolarek and Prof. Richard Wolff discuss the wave of organizing exploding across Starbucks locations nationwide, and how the company is desperately trying to thwart the union by illegally firing employees who are involved. As the class struggle continues to heat up nationwide, corporations are attempting to trample on the right to organize at the workplace.
