Organising a union, like these CNT and IWW comrades did, imroves your pay and conditions - and that is the last things Starbucks want to see.

Bush-Arroyo Axis Plans Deeper U.S. Intervention In The Philippines

Via the corrupt Arroyo regime, Bush/Pentagon is planning deeper intervention in the "killing fields" of its former colony, in the name of the war against "terrorism."

The 9,250 square meter site (38-hectare) was opened back in 2003 by the private company Equion, according to the BBC “through the government's Private Finance Initiative, using both public and private money.” Read more >>
