Against all odds, Starbucks workers successfully unionized. Now workers at more than 100 Starbucks stores in 27 states have filed union petitions for elections. In response, Starbucks has launched a relentless anti-union effort. Is this the start of a new golden age of the labor movement and workers' unions? Daisy Pitkin is is an organizer with more than 20 years of experience working with SEIU to help Starbucks workers. Daisy joins Thom Hartmann to discuss just how workers were able to beat the boss and unionize for better conditions. Would you join a union at your workplace?
