Jobs With Justice hosts workers' rights hearing for Long Island Starbucks workers
County officials, religious leaders, academics and labor representatives came out in support of Long Island’s unionized Starbucks workers Thursday night, gathering to hear testimony from employees about their treatment working for the Seattle-based coffee giant.
The meeting, a Workers’ Rights Board hearing organized in Amityville by the Island’s Jobs With Justice group — the local arm of a national pro-labor organization — featured half a dozen current and former union employees.
