Wishing them luck! In other news, Starbucks closes “unprofitable” stores, starting with some in Mississippi.

We can take some solace in the fact that long-term that's not a sustainable strategy for starbucks. If people keep pushing for unionization. Eventually Starbucks will run themselves out of so many profitable markets and cease to be a brand entity in many people's minds. That they will lose market share and relevance. It's still quite a ways out. But it's the only logical outcome of temper tantrums like that.

Wow, and in Mississippi of all places. That’s a tough legal environment for unions I imagine.

Didn't a New York Starbucks try this but were all fired?
