digg thisProtestors say they'll try to disrupt Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz's speech to Harvard business students today.
They say Schultz is a hypocrite to call employees "partners" when Starbucks is one of the least labor friendly companies in America.
"For Howie to sit around and claim how much he loves us, it’s just disgusting. Starbucks is one of the biggest union busting corporations in the United States," Liberte Locke tells The Harvard Crimson. She's one of those organizing the protest.
Starbucks hasn't responded yet to my questions about the labor claims.
Schultz is on a tour promoting his new book "Onward" and he'll lecture to business students.
