Not only does Starbucks not care about labor but Marx would have called the baristas lumpenproletariats, whom he believed were getting in the way workers trying to unite in the defeat of capitalism. Indeed, the most needy were considered the least useful.
actually laughed out loud at the idea of a baristas union
can unskilled, expendable labor actually unionize?
I would have to say that I agree unfortunately. During my last trip to a Starbucks, I attempted to mobilize the baristas for OWS, attempting to explain to them the how the bourgeoisie exploits their labor, but I was met only with blank stares, "I have to work," and "no entiendo." They seemed completely oblivious to the capitalist forces at work against them.
