This may be more of a current event than history (I guess current stuff becomes history the next day), but I find it interesting because I used to work for Starbucks and believe me the people who work there need a union. The way I see it companies like Starbucks belong to all sorts of business associations and have paid lobbyists to work on their own behalf. It is a simple matter of fairness that the employees should have the right to band together to protect their own interests. Strong unions help to level the playing field. Unions help raise the standard of living for workers in other business as well.

It is good to hear that some fellow queers are involved in union organizing.

Unions---the folks who brought us weekends and the eight hour day.
