    "As happens all too often with multibillionaire global corporations, anti-union practices are almost a feature of Starbucks' brand identity.
  • The company is infamous for its relentless efforts, around the world, to prevent workers from asserting their rights and even their freedom of expression!
  • The Chicoutimi employees are no longer alone against their employer—they can now count on the strength and solidarity of their 330,000 fellow workers across the country!"
