Content: "Around the world, Starbucks jobs must work for hard-working baristas, not just senior executives", said Chrissy Cogswell, a Starbucks employee in Chicago and a member of the IWW Starbucks Workers Union. " The Chilean baristas have created a voice at work to make sure their contribution to the company is respected." "As a union, we are making reasonable demands, such as a wage increase, decent working conditions, and for Starbucks to adhere to their values of Corporate Social Responsibility .’ The company isn't following these principles, which are the base of our daily work and behavior in the stores," said Giordano. He said the union workers in Chile are "glad and proud" to announce their union, and they look forward to more international solidarity with the IWW. " We believe our purpose will be stronger, as we strive together," he added. The Chilean Union has denounced several Union busting actions -or Anti-Union practices- undertaken by Starbucks in their country. Legal actions
The union filed an unfair labor practice charge against Starbucks in which it alleged the company prohibited workers from distributing union leaflets or wearing union buttons while they were at work. The company settled the charge with the National Labor Relations Board in March 2006. The company did not admit it had broken the law, but did agree to post notices explaining workers' rights under the National Labor Relations Act at three of its stores.
