We speak with Jaysin Saxton, one of the witnesses who testified at the Senate hearing Wednesday on Starbucks' union-busting record. Saxton was a former Starbucks shift manager, fired after leading the union drive at a store in Augusta, Georgia. He tells Democracy Now! he and fellow workers were motivated to organize their store to address the insane" working conditions, including understaffing and inconsistent schedules. There's no stability in how much you're earning and how many hours you're getting, so you can't afford to pay your bills, and you have to choose between gas and food," says Saxton.
