 May 31, 2023 | NLRB | Jaysin Saxton, the Starbucks worker who exposed for the U.S. Senate and the world to see that company CEO Howard Schultz lied about not busting unions, will get his job back. He’ll walk in the store door on June 7 to reclaim his post. Once there, he declared during a series of panels May 25 on organizing, the atmosphere in the store will be totally different, “and Starbucks isn’t ready for it.” “I can’t wait to get back.” Saxton played a key role in exposing Starbucks’s abuses and exploitation of its workers nationally. With one other worker, Saxton followed Schultz to the witness chair earlier this year before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee. There, he described in detail his mistreatment and ultimate firing from the Augusta store. Schultz, the Starbucks founder who had just stepped down as its CEO—but who’s still on the board and is the firm’s biggest stockholder—denied then under oath that his firm ever illegally fired anyone for advocating unionizing. Saxton point by point, then and at the CBTU, exposed that lie. Peoples World
