Starbucks - national day of action, 18th August

TomU | 15.08.2007 15:57 | Workers' Movements

As part of a national day of action coordinated by the IWW and No Sweat, we'll be handing out a joint leaflet outside the Starbucks opposite Waterstones in the City Centre this Saturday from 1pm.



Please forward this message. Hope to see you there...

Starbucks in an anti-union company that exploits its coffee shop workers as well as the people who grow the coffee beans it uses...
... why not download this flyer, run a pile of copies off, get a group of your friends and picket Starbucks on Saturday 18 August. (Also below is a special IWW-No Sweat flyer for use on 18 August).
Read our short Briefing  http://www.nosweat.org.uk/node/559 - then you'll know what you're talking about!

We are asking activists to spend 1 hour leafleting outside a store on 18 August. In London local protests will take place from 11.00 to 12.00 and then a central London protest will start at 2.00.
If you decide to do an action or a protest of some sort, let us know what you're up to and we'll publicise it. Take some photos and write a short report, and send them to us!
And why not set up a meeting to discuss Starbucks' record? We can mail you/your group a copy of a film made by pro-union activists in New York, Coffee Sirens (35 minutes). And we can provide speakers.

Why not help us: more details: admin at nosweat.org.uk

General issues:
Black Gold, a brand new film about the reality of the coffee house industry. "Multinational coffee companies now rule our shopping malls and supermarkets and dominate the industry worth over $80 billion, making coffee the most valuable trading commodity in the world after oil. But while we continue to pay for our lattes and cappuccinos, the price paid to coffee farmers remains so low that many have been forced to abandon their coffee fields."

Oxfam US ran a long campaign against Starbucks in defence of Ethiopian coffee farmers. Oxfam got Starbucks to back down:
