Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

Last year, the northwest's water company, United Utilities, doubled its profits & hiked bills.
Since privatisation, water companies have failed to build a single new reservoir.
This is the reality of privatisation. Shareholders gain; we suffer the pain of a climate crisis & growing drought risk.
