I get it, I’m sure he thinks he’s for the common man because of his upbringing. He might even believe it and want to help his employees. Unfortunately, it sounds like he lost their trust by letting another hack run the company for a few years, and now they want unions. Too bad for him, but does he truly think the second he dies there aren’t some greedy MBAs hovering around ready to squeeze as much profit from it as possible? He should probably be working with the new union and trying to cement his legacy of being the good guy he thinks he is by ensuring that Starbucks and the union are intertwined culturally at that company so that this never happens again.
