can someone pls tell me what he did wrong

I mean he *literally* came out of retirement to union bust. Corporate’s been repeatedly ruled against by the labor board, they know what they are doing is illegal but they either don’t care or think they are above the law.

i thought he came out of retirement just to in general fix the company? yes part of that is union busting and im all for unionizing when needed, but also if a company is treating its workers well to begin with then they dont need to unionize, right?

> when a company treats its workers well

If you think this is ‘being treated well’ then I don’t know what to tell you, cuz it’s sure as hell is not. I can’t pay my rent on my own, I had to pick up a second job just to make ends meet. This is *exactly* why and when to organize. Anyone who owns a yacht but has starving employees is not a man of the people and he’s not in the peoples’ side. Full stop.

If Howie gave a crap about us then the day he took over we’d have gotten a raise.

i never said it was better but i also know its not an immediate process. in august ill be making $20 an hour, which still isnt entirely liveable but its progress right? maybe im being too positive about it all and i will always agree theres room for better treatment, but i really do have SOME hope in howie until he proves that wrong. i know people who wanted to work in higher positions just to work with him which is a green flag for me. people wanted coffee academy back, he listened. we’re moving back towards coffee store rather than fast food which is what i really want out of this job. i know he’ll never be entirely eye to eye with the people actually behind the counter. but i do think hes doing better than the other ceo who just cared about speed and consumer wants

Because they were upset you didn’t understand the situation and felt you were defending howie.
