Sanders: Senate panel to vote on subpoena for Starbucks CEO

[Uncle Joe]

The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, which Sanders chairs, will vote on whether to issue the subpoena on March 8. The Democratic-controlled committee will also vote on an investigation into labor law violations by large corporations.

Sanders said that Schultz has “denied meeting and document requests, skirted congressional oversight attempts, and refused to answer any of the serious questions we have asked” regarding the company’s alleged union busting, including firing more than a dozen Starbucks workers who led organizing campaigns.

“Unfortunately, Mr. Schultz has given us no choice, but to subpoena him,” Sanders said in a statement. “A multi-billion dollar corporation like Starbucks cannot continue to break federal labor law with impunity. The time has come to hold Starbucks and Mr. Schultz accountable.”

The NLRB ruled earlier this month that Starbucks unlawfully threatened and later fired employees who led organizing campaigns at two Philadelphia locations. The board ordered Starbucks to rehire the workers and give them back pay.

4. oh, but Schultz is considered "the savior" of the company

...they guy can do no wrong, according to some on CNBC. Obviously the network is in the business of reporting on business, but they sure do overlook a lot of crap if a company is increasing profits. Kinda like a lot of companies themselves.

Schultz now looks a lot more like a schmuck than a savior of a struggling company.
