Hey all. This is a mini rant so if that’s not something you want to hear please disregard this post. I currently work at starbucks and today reminded me of how sick and twisted the company is. Today I was sat down in an isolated setting one-on-one with an apparent manager of mine who i’ve never seen before. She proceeded to show me numerous videos which were basically complete propaganda and were highlighting how (common tactic of theirs) great and morally justified they are as a company. I was given a slip with all of their benefits to subconsciously try to remind me of how i’m so taken care of, how I shouldn’t be critical about the company, “look at these benefits that don’t apply to you, but look what we have to offer!” that kind of deal. I could go into greater detail but it’s irrelevant and I’m tired…
Sysco drivers and warehouse workers are on strike in the Baltimore/D.C. metro area. This affects my restaurant. My rep called and assured me that Sysco is bringing in “the best associates” from around the country to scab in their warehouse and on their routes. WAKE UP SYSCO. Your best workers are outside on the picket line! Many of these guys have been their for their whole career. Many more 30+ years. And this is how they are treated? Sysco has doubled down on their anti-worker policies. We stand strong with our brothers and sisters on the picket line in Jessup, Maryland. Buy what you must, but every dime Sysco makes in profit right now is going to fucking over their workers. Let's give them the squeeze. Fuck Sysco. Fuck scabs. Brotherhood of workers forever
