Starbucks Union Demands: A Very Stable Genius's Take

The Art of the (Coffee) Deal

Folks let me tell you I know deals. The best deals. And this Starbucks situation? It's a deal that needs a dealmaker. A great one. The union is asking for $17 an hour. Now $17 it's a number. But is it the right number? That's the question. We need to negotiate and we need to negotiate tough. Believe me I know tough.

Unfair Labor Practices? Sad

Hundreds of unfair labor practice charges? That's not good. Not good at all. But let's be honest sometimes people say things. They make accusations. Are they true? Who knows? But we have to look into it. We have to be fair. But also we have to be smart. We have to make sure Starbucks isn't being taken advantage of. Speaking of smart investments understanding market dynamics is crucial.

The Boardroom Battle: Rigged?

Now some shareholders are trying to vote out board members. Sounds a little like a witch hunt doesn't it? They're blaming these folks for the labor problems. But maybe they're just doing their job. Maybe they're trying to keep Starbucks great. We need strong leadership not people who cave to every demand. Remember leadership is about making the tough decisions.

Starbucks' Turnaround: A Tremendous Opportunity

Starbucks wants to turn things around in the U.S. Tremendous opportunity. The best opportunity. But they can't do it if they're constantly fighting with their workers. They need to find a way to work together. To be friends. Maybe they should have a coffee summit. I'd be happy to mediate. I'm great at bringing people together. Just ask North Korea. Or China. Or… well you get the idea.

The Risk of Work Stoppages: Not Good

Work stoppages? That's the worst. Nobody wins. The workers don't get paid Starbucks loses money and the customers don't get their lattes. It's a disaster. We need to avoid that at all costs. We need to make sure everyone is happy. Or at least not too unhappy. A little unhappiness is okay. Keeps people on their toes.

Making Starbucks Great Again

So here's my advice to Starbucks: Be tough be fair and make the best deal possible. And remember always put America first. And maybe just maybe put my name on a cup. "The Trump Latte." It's going to be huge. Everyone will want one. Believe me. It will be the best latte. Ever.
