Today's partner spotlight features James Schenk, a fired worker who successfully organized the first store in the Capital District of NY, the Latham Plaza store, and has gone on to help 9 out of 9 stores win their union in his region! #undefeated 🧵 
James says, "Starbucks tells us when we get hired that we are there to create a third place, a welcoming and inclusive environment. How much better can the customer experience get than a Starbucks full of baristas that are excited to come into work and serve our customers?!"
James can often be found sipping on a grande brown sugar shaken espresso, extra shot, two pumps of white mocha (or toasted white mocha or pumpkin!) and reading the Lord of the Rings! He is a self-described "homebody" who has spent 4 years waiting impatiently for GoW: Ragnarok!
James needs all of our help right now as he continues to help others organize while fighting for his own reinstatement. A six-year Starbucks partner, James lost his job in retaliation for organizing. Please consider supporting him here: gofund.me/06a5e3b9
