Starbucks Union Organizer to Stand Trial in RNC Case
New York, NY- Daniel Gross, a co-founder of the IWW
Starbucks Workers Union and an employee at the
company, is set to stand trial for disorderly conduct
and resisting arrest at a Republican National
Convention protest. Gross participated in a peaceful
union rally in front of the Starbucks store where he
works to protest the Bush Administration’s support for
anti-union actions at the world’s largest coffee
chain. He faces a maximum sentence of over six months
in jail. The union is asking its friends and allies
to attend the trial in support of the right to
protest. The trial will begin on January 14 at 9:30
a.m. in Part C of the 100 Centre Street Courthouse in
Downtown Manhattan.
Just beacuse some fat cat company makes accusations - which apprently it has a long history of - this guy could face over 6 months in jail and a criminal record. Is this the reward for voicing your opinion in America for our American comrades?
