Starbucks has fired a Buffalo, New York, worker who 'ignited a movement' from one of the first stores in the coffee chain to unionize, Starbucks Workers United said.
Starbucks has fired a Buffalo, New York, worker who “ignited a movement” from one of the first stores in the coffee chain to unionize, Starbucks Workers United said Friday. The firing came the same week that former CEO Howard Schultz testified before Congress, where he was grilled by lawmakers for the company’s labor practices and alleged union-busting. Alexis Rizzo had been shift supervisor at the Genesee Street store in Buffalo for 7 years, the union said.
“Over the past 18 months, Starbucks has waged the most aggressive and illegal union-busting campaign in the modern history of our country,” said Sanders. Schultz noted during the hearing that the company’s baristas earn an average of $17.50 an hour, which is more than the minimum wage in multiple states, “including, respectfully Chairman Sanders’ [state],” referring to Vermont.

The indictment itself has remained sealed, for now. The Republican former president denies any wrongdoing and is denouncing the investigation as a “political persecution” by a Democratic district attorney.
