Yesterday I got a cup of union brewed coffee at Starbucks
I'm almost never near this part of Omaha. But I went right by it on my way to a high school basketball tourney. I went to the 72nd and Dodge St. location. When I finished placing my order, I asked if it could be filled by a union member? The reply was yes, thank you. At the window, I showed the sleeve of my jacket. It was a union yes logo. Everybody on duty visited me through the window to say thank you. I left double my normal tip.
Here is the Omaha location's unionizing story: https://omaha.com/news/local/2-omaha-starbucks-seek-unions/article_45b71e60-9a63-55b6-b8e9-362c077ce0d1.html

Of course I support unions! Just trying some union humor.
Without unions, we wouldnt have:
Higher minimum wage.
40 hour work week
Overtime pay
Some health care benefits
Child labor laws
