Current labor law treats white-collar criminals the way a parent treats a 5-year old.

Jail time? Absolutely not possible under current law. Zero chance.

Fines and penalties? Zero chance.

Worst case: apologize & give back what you stole.

It seems these @Starbucks managers used their power to violate workers' legal rights & illegally protect their own career interests.

Arrest, fines, & jail should be on the table for law breakers. For managers, none are & #WhiteCollarCrimeSpree continues.

It's a highly organized conspiracy to violate federal law.

Add NLRA violations to the list of racketeering activity that can be prosecuted under RICO. Clarify that retaliation for union sympathy is a form of extortion.

See what happens.

It me.

The white-collar crime spree by @HowardSchultz @Starbucks mgmt team has harmed thousands of American workers. Here's one.

These Americans worked hard & followed the law.

Schultz's team chose to damage them illegally and they get away with it.

Law breaking by @Starbucks CEO @HowardSchultz mgmt team continues.
