On April 24th, 2008 Monica, a member of the CNT, was fired from a Starbucks in Sevilla for her union activity. In Grand Rapids the National Labor Relations Board continues to investigate Starbucks for Unfair Labor Practices. The two groups are calling on all social organizations, unions, and invdividuals to organize and participate in this Day of Action. Stand up for worker's rights and against globalization!
