00:00Yes, I have billions of dollars.

00:03Shut it down!

00:05I earned it. No one gave it to me.

00:08Shut it down!

00:10We are tired of listening to billionaire CEOs take sole credit for the billions of dollars of profit made off our labor.

00:16I'm getting health care through Starbucks. I can't afford my medical bills.

00:19I qualified for food stamps because I was getting my hours cut so much.

00:23A lot of people are just sick of it.

00:25Conditions were so bad that a union made a lot of sense.

00:30Howard Schultz sends a swarm of out-of-state managers into Buffalo, New York.

00:35They flew in from around the country to bust the union.

00:38He is angry at us.

00:40We never wanted to wage war. We've been met with vitriol and retaliation.

00:45Two Starbucks employees were arrested.

00:48They could not find a reason to fire me. They had to make something up.

00:53We're one year in and we don't have a contract!

00:56The only reason why they had the chance to fire me is because we don't have the contract that says just cause.

01:01They fired seven of us in one day all within like 15 minutes apart.

01:05We're not abusing our people.

01:07When you pulled the curtain back, you saw the true nature of Howard Schultz.

01:10Starbucks has waged the most aggressive and illegal union-busting campaign in the modern history of our country.

01:18That is the first Starbucks to form a union at a company-operated store ever in America.

01:27We'll be back! We'll be back!

01:31We fight because we have each other to watch out for.

01:34All power to the Starbucks workers!

01:37These baristas will be remembered in the annals of labor history.

01:40If we don't recognize the union, we will shut it down!

01:46Shut it down!

01:48No contract! No coffee!

01:50No contract! No coffee!

01:52It's all coffee!
