Now Bernie Sanders is Taking on Starbucks.
The CEO is being called to testify about union busting.
Starbucks certainly had their fair share of controversy this past year, as multiple stores across the country try and succeed in efforts to unionize employees, and the company — of course — continues to make it known that they want no part of it.

Amelia Lucas with CNBC writes:
“Sen. Bernie Sanders is making good on his threat of a subpoena for Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz on what Sanders has called union-busting activity at the company’s coffee shops.
Sanders said Wednesday that the Senate’s Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, or HELP, Committee will vote March 8 on whether to issue a subpoena for Schultz, who previously declined to appear in front of the committee.
Sanders said in a statement that Schultz has denied meeting and document requests and refused to answer questions from him and his fellow senators.
“Unfortunately, Mr. Schultz has given us no choice, but to subpoena him,” Sanders said in a statement…”
