Lino Rojas
No full textIn this interview, Lino Rojas walks us through his life from when his family relocated to Washington State, to his time in the Vietnam War, and through his return to Washington and post war life. A story we do not often get to hear in a firsthand account: a child of educated migrant farm laborers, Lino experienced hardships. A childhood of labor in an English-speaking area, raised by Spanish-speakers. The loneliness and instability of child farm laborers is one we should explore. Another experience humanity must acknowledge is the higher rates of dangerous job placement and death among people of color. On that subject, we learn the importance of Lino’s time in the military and what he contributed to the Vietnam War effort

Union Strong Starbucks Worker Solidarity poster, 2022
No full textIn December 2021, workers at a Starbucks location in Buffalo, New York voted to form a labor union, making it the first unionized Starbucks in the United States. In 2022, workers at many other Starbucks locations also began holding union elections. By December 2022, more than 270 stores, including several stores in Seattle, had successfully voted to unionize and join Starbucks Workers United. According to National Labor Relations Board complaints and a lawsuit filed in December 2022, Starbucks broke the law in efforts to suppress the unionization effort through tactics like retaliating against workers advocating for the union and delaying negotiations with unionized stores. Starbucks Workers United has also protested the closure of unionized stores, although the company contends the closures are for safety reasons. As of January 2023, four unionized Starbuck stores in Seattle have closed, including the first unionized store, at Broadway and Denny on Capitol Hill.
This is a poster designed by Melanie Amaral for Seattle DSA’s (Democratic Socialists of America) Starbucks Solidarity campaign to support Starbucks’ workers effort to unionize. The Starbucks Solidarity campaign includes rallies, a solidarity fund to support workers whose hours are cut or who are fired, and poster campaigns featuring posters such as this. This poster includes a modified version of Starbucks’ mermaid logo, as well as calls for solidarity with workers and a petition to Starbucks to cease its union busting activities.Caption information source: “NLRB: Starbucks broke law on union talks,” by Renata Geraldo, Seattle Times, December 29, 2022, page 11
