Baristas at the Mall of America Starbucks joined the Starbucks Workers Union in July 2008. Starbucks fired Barista Erik Forman in an effort to stymie the union drive. Through a campaign of direct action, legal pressure, and media advocacy, we won Erik's job back. On August 31st, the IWW held a rally to celebrate the union victory. After the rally, union supporters accompanied Erik Forman to his first shift back at the Mall of America. Things did not go as planned.
The IWW plans to file Unfair Labor Practice charges against the Mall of America, Metro Transit, and Bloomington Police over the illegal detainment of 50 union supporters in a train at the Mall of America.
