Approximate 15 members of the union local showed up to distribute flyers, talk to customers, pedestrians, and workers, waved union flags, sang, danced to music, and picketed in the spirit of worker solidarity. Members handed out nearly 200 pieces of information to interested parties. <br /> <br /> The global day of action was announced by the <a href="http://seccionstarbuckscnt.wordpress.com/">Confederacion Nacional de Trabajadores (CNT-AIT)</a> in Sevilla, Spain and the Grand Rapids, Michigan <a href="http://www.starbucksunion.org/">Starbucks Workers Union (IWW)</a> in response to two recent anti-union terminations. Starbucks has <a href="http://www.inthesetimes.com/article/2851/">exhibited a pattern of firing outspoken, union baristas ever since the advent of the Starbucks Workers Union in 2004</a>, and evidently, is initiating the same strategy against the CNT in Spain. <br /> <br /> “On April 24, Starbucks fired Monica in Sevilla, Spain for her activity on behalf of the CNT union. She asked to be identified by only her first name to avoid future employment discrimination. On June 6, Starbucks fired two-year barista Cole Dorsey in Grand Rapids, Michigan, for his activity on behalf of the Industrial Workers of the World union.
