Starbucks founder Howard Schultz testified before the Senate about the company's rampant illegal union-busting campaign, and Sen. Bernie Sanders held nothing back.
"Over the past 18 months, Starbucks has waged the most aggressive and illegal union-busting camping in the modern history of our country," Sanders said. "That union busting campaign has been led by Howard Schultz, the multi-billionaire founder and director of Starbucks who is with us this morning only under the threat of subpoena."
Later, Sanders pressed Schultz: "Have you ever threatened, coerced, or intimidated a worker for supporting a union?"
Schultz wouldn't answer no. "I've had conversations that could’ve been interpreted in a different way than I intended..."
Watch the highlights.
