Leading tax vampires and corporate scroungers STARBUCKS have agreed, in principle, to pay more tax, but then turned on their poorest employees to recoup any reduction in their profits. On the day that the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee branded their tax scams "immoral", Starbucks staff were ordered to sign employment terms which include "the removal of paid lunch breaks and paid sick leave for the first day of illness" and which leave increased salary entitlements "frozen"...

Leading tax vampires and corporate scroungers STARBUCKS ("bucks" meaning DOLLARS) have agreed, in principle, to think about maybe one day contributing a bit more to the cost of the taxpayer-funded infrastructure and services that their multi-billion pound businesses exploit, but then turned on their poorest employees to recoup any reduction in their profits...

On the day that the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee branded the tax scams of the US coffee giant as "immoral", 7000 Starbucks staff were ordered to sign equally immoral employment terms which include "the removal of paid lunch breaks and paid sick leave for the first day of illness" and which leave increased salary entitlements "frozen". Starbucks made over £3 BILLION in the last 13 years but paid just £8.6m towards the cost of maintaining UK infrastructure and health and education services.

Dozens of corporate tax vampires are scrounging essential services from British taxpayers, but Amazon have been billed for $252 million in back-taxes on profits they've made in France. Tax the Multinationals and Save the NHS.
