Couldn't owners just shut the place down in they wanted to, and restart? Starbucks franchises stores, so it couldn't do so until the contract expired. And, of course, if this takes off, they may not be able to close enough stores without destroying themselves. Corporations will do absolutely anything to crush organized labor though, that is absolutely true. Which makes solidarity(and more stores unionizing) key. --- I'm Queen of Tomorrow baby!

pure_temper 12/09/21 4:30:19 PM #12:	Starbucks is at a scale now where it should happen across the board and 100% of profit left over after expenses and R&D investments being divided evenly across the workers per store. And have them operate 24/7 with a night time crew too, will increase service availability and # of jobs and profit. I think theres more and more demand for night-time services than ever thanks to the pent-up demand in general and also the massive transition to a digital and renewables economy.

Corporations brainwash people into believing that unions are bad they can be at a size when they become like a government or like a competitive interest to elected bodies. For example how police unions are a thorn in the side for some left ideas like reducing police budgets.
