Washington DC IWW Pickets Starbucks
Submitted on Tue, 08/29/2006 - 4:24am
The DC IWW picketed the Dupont Circle Starbucks today from 6:30 pm until 8:00 pm. The workers seemed to appreciate our presence and thanked us for our support. One said "I'm with you." Over the course of an hour and a half five Wobblies and three supporters handed out about 300 flyers and collected more than 50 signatures on a petition demanding that Starbucks re-hire the fired workers. We hope to hold future pickets on a bi-weekly basis.
