Tuesday Night

Tuesday Nigfht, 4 April 2023.

12:00-1:40 am: let’s start the show with Senator Bernie Sanders (I Vermont) chairperson of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) committee. The topic of this hearing is “No Company is above the law: the need to end illegal union busting at Starbucks.” Which are the tactics used by Starbucks, especially its CEO Schultz, who is being questioned by the committee’s senators. Please pay very close attention to the language used by Mr. Schultz and Republican senators questions—senators Rand Paul of Kentucky and Paul Cassidy of Louisiana, and Braun who comes out in support of unions. The hearing was held on March 29 and lasted three hours; I am only bringing you a little over an hour of the hearing and have left out other committee senators’ Q&A—most of them are rhetoric and lies and lies. Also, stay tuned to hear testimonies of fired employees—heart wrenching.
