Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) questioned former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz on the company's union-busting tactics and engaged in a tense exchange with Republican colleague Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK). #CNN #News
Watch tense exchange between Sanders and GOP senator during hearing
Howard didn’t found Starbucks. He bought it.
@LotsOfFun naw I had family work at non-union Starbucks and it’s trash
@stumblinmumbler Your family member didn’t like healthcare and college tuition??
@LotsOfFun and the pay wasn’t good they advertised it as a good paying job but only offered a handful of hours to each employee so what’s the point of have a $16 an hour job when the only allow you to work 20 hours a week
Elon Musk didn’t found Tesla either, he bought it.
I remember back when Unions were strong and got good paying wages and benefits for the WORKERS.
@ID10T smh………
Democrats had a choice between using their majority in 2009 for Card Check (unions) or Obama Care and they went with the latter.
@Oceania 23 Starbucks pays college tuition and healthcare.
I don’t go to Starbucks simply because of the CEO. Some may claim cancel culture, I call it consumer power.
Same
I haven’t been to a chik fil A in over 13 years.
@Gus Garcia I prefer my Mrs of 63 yrs Her Fried chicken anyway. Plus her homemade biscuits.
Good. Go to a smaller, locally owned cafe
Also Starbucks allows grocery stores to have “Starbucks” in them, but those people DO NOT make $15 an hour
@cloudzack1090⛪️ your cost if living probably eats that $15 up.
They do in Seattle.
They do in CA, WA & OR. For years, though, they didn’t offer same benefits & Safeway/Albertsons. Also didn’t honor Gift Cards because “we aren’t Starbucks” as I stood under the sign & ordered a Venti🤷🏼♀️
This corporate greed is perpetually ridiculous. It’s a coffee chain not some all important business. These rich people should thank their lucky stars for what they have and take care of their workers above and beyond
Thank you Bernie kick those corrupt CEO.
Imagine being on the side of wealthy CEOs and against people trying to do the right thing and make an honest living.
Love me some Bernie!
Go Bernie!!
That interchange is perfectly exemplative of every interaction Ive ever had with a MAGA. They hear or read something from one of their preferred sources and immediately swallow it whole. Once thats done, NO amount of facts can change their mind.
@Blazing Shackles All you have to do is check. You are choosing not to for whatever reason.
@Blazing Shackles Hmm, so if the senate doesn’t have a union, how do they function ?
@Brian Fergus the senate doesn’t have a union, how do they function ?
He’s feeling the Bern🔥
Ironically, Bernie wants to raise his own taxes and to help poor people with taxpayer money. The guy questioning Bernie was a Republican Senator who inherited tens of millions of dollars and wants to pay less in taxes while not helping poor people.
You go, Senate Sanders.
No more Starbucks for me.
Republicans: “It is only okay to have a lot of money if you don’t want to help poor people and don’t want to raise your own taxes like us.”
@Hyper Miracle Positive Girl tuition….not intuition. typo mistake.
@LotsOfFun Where?? No no please explain your thought process here. Starbucks would try to hire ppl abroad?? If this was a tech job, I would understand, but this is Starbucks is it not?? How can they offshore these jobs?
@LotsOfFun Also how are you defending union busting?? Isn’t it illegal to engage in union busting? Why are you in support of billionaires getting away with criminal activity?
@LotsOfFun Too bad all your education didn’t help you learn that it is illegal to engage in criminal activities and morally reprehensible to support it on top of that
If all politicians were like Bernie imagine how much better things would be … i love him to bits !
You got to say these repubs have balls and like to use thrumps tactics of trying to deflect away from their misdoings to blaming other people of things.

My friend worked in Buffalo Starbucks as a manager…. They forced him to work at multiple stores or leave. He tried but being forced to commute in your own vehicle with no compensation he left… He was supporting unionizing.
I have so much respect for Bernie.
@gacj2010 Not true ! His job now is dragging down successful corporations
Kidding, right!?
I stand with Bernie, proudly.
I will always love Bernie.
Can we have more of him, please?
Time for Bernie to retire to Cuba.
First time I’ve heard much laughter because of a Senator’s comments. Go Bernie Sanders 👍👌♥️🤣
We work for years just to have a $1million, while some people put thousands of dollars in some meme coins and they’re millionaires.
