Tomorrow, @Starbucks shareholders can take a stand on ongoing
labor issues. Since 2021, baristas have sought to unionize amid hundreds of labor complaints. Progress has stalled, and independent board
oversight has been rolled back. Ongoing labor issues may undermine long-term success and that’s why we’re urging shareholders
to vote no on the re-election of Board Directors Jørgen Vig Knudstorp and Beth Ford.
