Starbucks Threatens To Sue Union Over Terror Support · Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show!

  Well, it seems like Starbucks says, woken up to the fact that nobody
• 0:07
  actually cares what its employees think about geopolitics or anything else for that matter.
• 0:13
  And it's not that we don't like them, it's just that we've got other
• 0:16
  things to do with our time and really just came in for a coffee.
• 0:21
  So here we have the headline Starbucks threatens to sue union that express support for
• 0:26
  Palestine over Israel. Well, that should be rewritten support for Hamas because it
• 0:32
  is Hamas that's running the show. There in an acknowledgment that an effort to
• 0:37
  boycott Starbucks is having an impact. The giant coffee chain has issued a cease
• 0:42
  and desist letter to a union representing about nine thousand of its baristas and other
• 0:47
  workers who have publicly sided with Palestinians after Hamas attacked Israel on October seventh.
• 0:54
  And here's the tweet from Starbucks Workers United says solidarity with Palestine and they're responding
• 1:00
  to this tweet. Bulldozer operated by Gazo Resistance tearing down the Israeli occupation fence
• 1:07
  erected on the border, literally breaking apart the Israeli created mass prison in the
• 1:11
  strip but doesn't mention what they did after they went through there though for some
• 1:17
  reason, I don't know why they wouldn't mention that. I don't know.
• 1:19
  Maybe it would make them look bad, but anyway. The sternly worded letter,
• 1:23
  addressed to Lynn Fox, the international president of Workers United, threatens to
• 1:27
  sue the group should it not immediately stop using the Starbucks name and logo,
• 1:33
  and it demands the union issue a statement saying that its support of Palestinians over
• 1:38
  Israel does not reflect the position of Starbucks, which is not affiliated with the
• 1:42
  union. Quote. Anger against Starbucks persists because your organization's actions have fueled the
• 1:49
  inaccurate perception that Starbucks supports violence against civilians. And they're saying, we don't
• 1:56
  support that. The union does, but we don't. So something tells me
• 2:00
  we're not going to be seeing a pumpkin paraglider soy latte on the menu for
• 2:06
  this holiday season, thank god. So it looks like maybe Starbucks is thinking
• 2:09
  about getting out of the woke business, but you know they have been cultivating
• 2:13
  this within their own company four years. Here from twenty eighteen, Starbucks goes
• 2:17
  big on racial bias training, but will it work well? If the goal
• 2:23
  is to make people racist, Yeah, I guess it did. And there
• 2:27
  was a brief period there where there was a controversy because a barista was told
• 2:31
  they couldn't wear their BLM shirt because I guess maybe at that point the leadership
• 2:37
  of Starbucks that maybe had some sort of a premonition that maybe all this social
• 2:39
  justice stuff isn't really going to work out great for the company in the end,
• 2:43
  but then immediately caved and ended up making twenty five thousand BLM shirts forts
• 2:47
  baristas. But of course that's not enough. You have to be actively anti
• 2:52
  racist, don't you know. It's not enough to just not be racist.
• 2:53
  You have to be anti racist to far left activist's satisfaction. And by the
• 2:59
  way, they're never satisfied. Here, Black Lives Matter, this is from
• 3:02
  Starbucks. This is from the Starbucks website. Black Lives Matter, Starbucks update
• 3:07
  on Standing against Racial Injustice. And actually, here, you know what I
• 3:12
  was wrong. It wasn't twenty five thousand t shirts. It was two hundred
• 3:15
  and fifty thousand shirts. So anyway, they did what they thought that they
• 3:19
  had to do to keep the SJWs from constantly harassing them, or at least
• 3:23
  harassing them last because they never actually stopped, because it's never enough. It
• 3:28
  certainly didn't stop Antifa from hurling bricks through their windows. But for people that
• 3:32
  were paying attention, there were some hints going back eight years now that maybe
• 3:37
  these social justice movements weren't everything we were being told they were on MSNBC,
• 3:42
  and that maybe people who are obsessed with identity above all else, maybe they're
• 3:46
  bad people here. Black Lives Matter co founder called for end of Israel in
• 3:52
  twenty fifteen quote, if we don't step up boldly and courageously to end the
• 3:57
  imperialist project called Israel, weird doomed. So for those of us who have
• 4:01
  been paying attention, we weren't surprised to see this from BLM Chicago because these
• 4:06
  are paragliders with the Palestinian flag there on it. They were the guys who
• 4:11
  went in and slaughtered all those people at the music festival. And I'm sure
• 4:15
  that Starbucks must have had people to do some vetting, right, some vetting
• 4:18
  before they jumped into bed with this organization, but the social pressure was just
• 4:23
  too much. And so they themselves are responsible for cultivating far left critical theory
• 4:29
  this and that anti colonial sentiment within their own company that ends up with them
• 4:34
  having to threaten their own union for supporting terrorists. And the far left is
• 4:39
  saying, now, well, what did you think anti colonialism was? Yeah,
• 4:43
  because they've been telling us all along if you wanted to listen, and
• 4:46
  you have the thing that they fear the most, especially after seeing what happened
• 4:50
  to bud Light, after seeing what's happened to Target, I don't think Starbucks
• 4:56
  wants to end up losing billions of dollars boycott's Starbucks trend after union response to
• 5:00
  Hamas attacks and guess what you did it to yourselves anyway, Please subscribe,
• 5:06
  like and share. Sharing really helps me out. I thank you for that.
• 5:10
  I will see you next time.
