Starbucks professes a concern for workers, the community
and the environment. But Starbucks uses the commercial
uniform and laundry vendor Cintas at its national chain
of coffee shops. In addition to environmental and workplace
violations, Starbucks' vendor, Cintas, is engaged in
a campaign of intimidation against employees trying
to form their union. Take action now or keep reading

Work in industrial laundries such as Cintas is tough.
Workers struggle to meet constant deadlines in an environment
full of risks--extremely hot equipment, chemicals,
dirty apparel and linens and, for Cintas workers, an
employer with a record of discrimination and other
bad workplace practices. 

Send a message to Starbucks by clicking on the link
below. Tell America's coffee shop giant to dump Cintas
until the laundry company cleans up its act. A copy
of your message will be sent to Cintas.

Please tell your friends, family and co-workers about
this campaign.
