<font size="2">Dear All,<br><br>This Friday, 4/1/11, Union-busting CEO Howard Schultz of Starbucks Coffee will speak at the Harvard
Business School. Schultz will share his secrets for maximizing profits with eager future bosses.
</font><font size="2">This will also be an opportunity for
Schultz to hawk his new book, Onward. </font><font size="2">Schultz's income in 2009 was $14,971,152., or 836 times the average
salary of an average barista. Starting at 12 noon, activists will hold a demonstration to expose Starbucks' attacks on workers. <br><br>Starbucks has waged a vicious anti-union campaign against s<span></span><span>upporters
of the IWW/Starbucks Workers' Union, targeting and firing activists in
the US and Spain. The company forces employees to be available 80 hrs/wk,
but won't even guarantee part time hours. Starbucks keeps workers on poverty pay and deliberately understaffs stores to maximize revenues. <br><br>Last December, the
IWW/Starbucks Workers' Union won premium pay for the Martin Luther King
Day holiday for employees across the country! This victory followed a
hard 3-year fight for the MLK Day holiday. Please join us at the picket and
press for union recognition and more improvements for hard-working
Starbucks staff. <br><br>Harvard's Spangler Hall is located 1 block from the
intersection of Soldiers' Field Road and Western Ave (3 min by car or
about a 15-minute walk from Harvard or Central Square). From Harvard
Sq, take JFK Street, cross the Charles river and turn left on Gordon
Rd. which will take you directly to Spangler Hall. From Central Sq,
walk down Western Ave, which runs right in front of the building. Here's the <a href="http://maps.yahoo.com/#mvt=m&lat=42.364003&lon=-71.120169&zoom=17&q1=western%20ave%20and%20east%20drive%2C%20allston%20ma">map</a></span></font>.<br>
