On the next Your Call, we’ll discuss union busting, as workers across various industries continue to demand basic rights.

All UPS union employees will receive a $2.75 per hour raise this year, and a $7.50 per hour pay increase over the next 5 years.

Starbucks has engaged in a ruthless Union busting campaign, firing over 230 union leaders across the country, and shuttering union stores.
