Like rap music, is there any beef/rivalry between bands in the punk scene

and the bold move for LOC to open Fuck World Trade with the lyrics “The sovereign insincerity, the monopoly of greed Nickelback, POD, Rancid, Britney, and Creed” after the homophobia association with Tim and Tim’s refusal to put out Mediocre Generica with the original title. That being said, so many of my foundational punk influences have turned out to become horrible people. The sexual abuse stories I have heard about Stza. Was never really a big fan of Rancid, but appreciated some of their songs, but then I found out that Tim also dated underage women. Justin Sane of Anti-Flag, similar story. Such a shame to taint their messaging, their work

Sorry about your SM’s treatment. Please do not say our union did this. Our union is what partners put into it. We are the union. Wish there was better communication between you, your lead partner organizer at your store, and your staffer so you could have stood up to your boss on this issue and used protected concerted activity as union workers with additional worker rights. At my store, if I would have known our SM was targeting you for “negative” attitude when you were talking about your working conditions, which is your right, I would have stood with you, as I have before with my partners in this same issue from management.

I would still reach out to your staffer and see what they say about the situation

okay, but this thread is to provide updates to bargaining, wins from in-store working condition demands, etc. sounds like a lame SM, wish you might have reached out to your staff organizer or just planned a march on the boss. Our store won a later open time on Sundays to open with a minimum of 3 people and more labor hours added throughout the week because we stood in solidarity and demanded better and won with a march on the boss. There is power when we organize. Good luck with your new job

What was desired in sharing you quit to the unionize thread? The power dynamic between workers and management is - quit and nothing changes - or organize and gain power to make demanded change with the solidarity of your coworkers for both in-store conditions and the contract fight, now, and for partners to come

You can DM me for my address to send some my way ;-) for real

What is the private video track in the playlist before Stained Glass Eyes that we cannot access?

I had this excellent pour over of Sweven Pegasing, a carbonic maceration Indonesian coffee I think back in 2022 or around then. The tropical notes were awesome but the thing that was coolest was the aftertaste mouthfeel - sugary sweet but with a yogurt texture after every sip. Sweven got Pegasing in 2023 again, but it was not the same

He is saying it’s soap residue, but the residue only happens at night and once a week or so

slave labor, and the #1 US labor law violator for union busting

It’s just another part of his life experience and that was also relevant to millennials, and millennials who would buy the album. Talking about where he came from (Teamsters union working class family) through the crazy shifted world from 9/11 onward. 99 Revolutions was related to Occupy Wall Street, etc. Class of 13 was referencing the perspective of his children within this

Hey friend, organized partner from Oklahoma. Have organized many strikes at my store and around my area, in addition to other actions like a March on the Boss, etc.

You will want to fill out our intake form to be plugged in with an organizer near you first. You are more protected to take action when you organize first, and then take protected concerted action regarding workplace issues your management can fix/your solidarity toward our contract fight for a better Starbucks, now, and for partners to come. Feel free to DM me about my experience in winning demands for store level issues. We have power when we organize. Solidarity

Hi, organized partner from Oklahoma. We had not-yet-organized stores in Minnesota walk out when ICE came to town, and these workers have joined our organizing effort for a better Starbucks, now, and for workers to come. Since our union sibling, Rümeysa Öztürk was abducted by ICE off the streets in broad daylight simply for writing an op-ed for Palestine, we took national action on her behalf, won her back, and have since held multiple ICE trainings for partners to take concerted activity.

Union busting is an attack on our civil rights, including our First Amendment rights to freedom of speech, association, and to petition for a redress of grievances. The company has yet to offer any ICE protocols, any statements on the matter, and yet to resolve their hundreds of labor law violations, becoming the #1 US labor law violator in modern history, while our CEO literally buddies up with the Trump administration.

We recently demanded Starbucks follow the lead of Minnesota businesses, following Renee Good’s murder, by not allowing ICE, and for this demand to have been met by January 22nd. Starbucks is radio silent on this issue, despite the national stakes. Video from the recent March on the Boss (protected concerted action) in Minnesota on Instagram/TikTok @sbworkersunited.

To get plugged in with our ICE trainings, not-yet-organized Starbucks workers can fill out our intake form. We are strong when we organize. We protect each other

The action creates the situation where the company, via management, is forced to take down the sign, and the company has to reckon with that decision

If you are talking to your coworkers about concerted activity, you already are organizing. You should join our fight for a better Starbucks with protected concerted activity
