Starbucks workers say company has retaliated. Company spokesman denies anti-union actions

Labor Day dates to the 1800s when New Jersey’s own President Grover Cleveland signed a bill declaring it a national holiday. It honored the work of labor activists who fought for a federal holiday to recognize the contributions of American workers. More than a century later, while workers are finding it easier to unionize, they are still fighting for a seat at the bargaining table.
