@[email protected] I think what might be a fun way for Starbucks workers trying to win #labor recognition and #educate customers - is to do a #strike variant: keep the doors open, but give away company coffee, pastries etc. for FREE.
This type of protest has been done in the past successfully. Imo it’s a great way to protest as it can help get the customers on their side (and spread news) , and it also increases the costs compared to just having the store closed for a day.
I guess it could depend highly on the contract of the employee, as if “taking payment” is not actually stipulated then they wouldn’t be breaking their contract - could be possible for someone like a barista who only makes coffee. Admittedly I have no insight into their position types nor contract
I can see how it would be effective in getting the public on your side, of course, and I don’t object in principle. I’m merely thinking of how the other side could exploit this. If it’s worked in the past, cool.
