Oh please. There are exactly three "unionized" Starbucks employees in Manhattan. The Int'l Labor Union -- I forget the official name -- does not recognize this purported union of Starbucks workers. And when the union organizers held a meeting to officially vote and unionize? They had to cancel the meeting because NOBODY SHOWED UP.

Give me a break. Starbucks is a good company who treats their employees well. No union required.
