The Communist Party, no.42 featured an article on the recent wave of unionization at Starbucks workplaces across the United States.

In that article, we described Service Employees International Union (SEIU) as the “parent union” of Starbucks Workers United (SWU), the union which has been organizing Starbucks workers nationwide. The truth is that SWU is a distinct organization that merely receives legal and financial aid and advice from SEIU.

This mistake was due to a lack of generally accessible information symptomatic of the atomized state of the labor movement. With greater contact between our party and as much of the working class as possible, as well as greater association of the proletariat in general, such errors can be avoided in the future.
