Workers report being harassed, threatened, retaliated against, and seeing their stores shut down after voting to unionize. Joselyn Chuquillanqui, a Starbucks barista of seven years, was allegedly fired for being three minutes late. Will Westlake, a barista of two and a half years, says he was fired for wearing an anti-suicide pin in rememberance of a colleague who had died by suicide that same year.

Ah yes, real reasons to fire people. I’m glad they’ve made inroads against this type of behaviour. People have been too happy to put up with this behaviour and just walk away.
