Hi, I'm Mike Papantonio and this is America's Lawyer. Starbucks is working over time to stop unions from forming at their stores and a new report says they've broken the law 200 times when their union busting efforts took place. We'll bring you the details. An oligarch close to Putin has said the threat of him using nuclear weapons should be taken very seriously. We'll bring you the latest details on that ongoing story. And both Biden and Trump's people want a rematch in 2024, but the public, not so much. All that and more coming up. So don't go anywhere. America's Lawyer starts right now.

Starbucks is fighting unionization efforts at their stores and the company appears to be willing to break the law to get there. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins joins me now talk about this in many other issues. And the guy I say is honestly the best voice in progressive media. I really do mean that.

Thank you.

Everybody, I say it a lot, people I wanna make the point. You, you're really good at what you do.

Well, thank you.

And, and so I appreciate that. I, it's, it's a pleasure talking to you. I want to ask you about this. As I looked about it, as I looked at this story, the most incredible thing that I found is that they've been down this road before. We've seen big corporations get spanked for doing exactly what Amazon is doing. I mean, yeah, well I say Amazon.

Well, yeah.

Amazon's doing it. Starbucks is doing it. But I looked at this it's, it's their video, the, the things they can't do. The employees can't take videos of their shop. They can't take photos. We're gonna threaten their benefits. We're gonna threaten their pay raise. We're going to, we're going to have surveillance. We're gonna watch 'em with cameras and then we're gonna terminate 'em to set an example. All this is Starbucks, it's Amazon all over, isn't it?

Right. I mean that, that actually we have done plenty of segments where Amazon was the carbon copy. They did everything you're mentioning here. And now of course, Starbucks says, well, hey, Amazon had some success with it. Let's try it ourselves. And so the National Labor Relations Board has hit them with this massive lawsuit, alleging at least that we know of 200 instances of breaking federal labor laws. And a lot of it, of course, does have to do with the retaliation against these employees. You know, firing anybody who says, hey, what if we started a union? Starbucks immediately steps in and says, hey, what if you didn't have a job here anymore?

Yeah, exactly.

And, and even worse, last week it was revealed that Howard Schultz, the guy that runs Starbucks said on a call, hey, we're gonna give everybody raises except the unionized workforce. We're not giving them any new benefits, but I'm gonna take such good care of all my other non-union employees, which of course that tactic illegal. And that is seen as a, a form of union busting by, by not giving the benefits to everybody.

Okay. So he, you know, his big talking point when he put all this together, the whole Starbucks picture is we're partners. A, we're partners and oh, by the way, we're one of the most progressive companies in the market. Really? Progressive company. So, so progressive has a whole new meaning if I look at what this guy did and I look what, what Bezos is doing with Amazon.
