I’m guessing you aren’t aware of what the union fees are for? Which is a big issue for people who are somewhat uneducated on the matter and just in support of Howard. The fees are used to support any time of boycott which gets paid to partners during those times since Starbucks isn’t going to pay them when they’re on strike or boycotting (whatever). They also may go to the president of the union (depending on size of union etc). This is where I fall off on knowledge in regard to the lead of union and their pay. But the fees are more beneficial towards partners than what we have now. It’s all for the cause of strengthening the work place and our conditions. I encourage you to do some more research. Maybe from those who are apart of unions within Starbucks! :)
