Starbucks fired a long-time union organizer only two days after Howard Schultz, the billionaire former CEO, was grilled at a Senate committee hearing over the company’s illegal union-busting campaign.
Rizzo was canned for repeatedly being late to work, Starbucks told the outlet. The union, Starbucks Workers United, said Rizzo’s firing is “retaliation at its worst.” Two other pro-union workers were also fired, the union said.
Rizzo went on to take aim at Schultz, who appeared before the Senate's Health, Education, Labor and Pensions last Wednesday. Democratic Senators confronted Schultz last week on eight rulings by administrative judges at the National Labor Relations Board that Starbucks had committed 130 labor law violations since the union campaign began in Buffalo in December 2021. Schultz denied that the company had violated the law.
