Melbourne Starbucks Action, July 5, 2008

Melbourne Starbucks Action

Twenty people from various groups, including IWW, Melbourne ASF (Anarcho-Syndicalist Federation, attached to the IWA), Melbourne Anarchist Club, Union Solidarity and more showed up to show our solidarity with the sacked Starbucks workers and demand Starbucks allow their workers to organise. The action went for about an hour and a half, emptying the store almost completely. Lots of cops (who got free Starbucks coffees, of course), but it was all very civil.

    I’m amazed they didn’t go for the donuts as well…
