All strength to the workers to keep unionising; what are they gonna do, close every store?
I’m from Ithaca. The store they closed is right next to Cornell University. The place was packed every time I drove by. And rightly so, it’s right next to a college that takes up half the city. They’d have to be fools to shut this store down - or retaliating against unionizing labor.
Come to think of it, there’s a large storefront on the other corner that’s been empty for going on a decade now. I wouldn’t be surprised if they open up a new store in the old Green Cafe location not long after they close the current one.

If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
![If a job needs doing, the workers deserve to be well paid for it, to enjoy benefits, to be treated with respect. If you can, please support these brave workers to help them see the struggle through. If Starbucks crushes the union here, it has gone a long way toward breaking the union everywhere.
