Starbucks announced on Wednesday that Schultz would be stepping down from the company’s board — with some outlets maintaining his anti-union stance had become a “distraction” that was hurting the company’s image.  It’s a testament to the movement Starbucks workers have built: a movement capable of taking on a billion-dollar corporation and holding it to account.  It’s been a long time coming. Starbucks workers have fought tirelessly across the country for fair pay, safe working conditions, and dignity on the job. So far, workers at 449 stores in 46 states have filed to unionize, and 356 Starbucks stores have already won their elections. The company has fought worker organizing at every turn: It has been prosecuted for violating labor law in over 2,000 instances, according to the campaign.  Schultz himself has in many ways been the face of Starbucks’ vicious opposition to worker organizing. “Under Schultz’s leadership,” writes the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, “Starbucks has adopted an aggressively anti-union stance that is reflected in Schultz’s public statements, the company’s communications to workers, and its scorched-earth approach to blocking unionization activity.”

Better than wipin' ass?

I was finally able to revise and upgrade the cover of my first novel, Tripio. It had been bugging me for years, like something your doctor would mention at your yearly check-up. Not life threatening, or even painful, but maybe you should do something about it. And so, the process never made it to the top of the pile of things I needed to do. The term book industry folks would use to describe…
