Sturbucks not so Woke when it comes to Unions

If we take 'woke' as a rough proxy for SD-Green, almost no giant multi-billion dollar business would qualify.

Whatever socially progressive values these companies profess to have will always come second to thier bottom line.

More often than not the 'woke' image that these companies like to cultivate is for PR purposes in order to adapt their business to changing social norms (ie broader acceptance of things like LGBTQ rights).

While this might come off as overly cynical, in actuality this is how adoption of a new paradigm (SD Green) actually happens; businesses being forced to adapt (however reluctantly) to changing social norms if they hope to survive.

A more substantive adoption of SD Green that takes in to account the needs of workers and the ecology of the planet is still a long way off, and will probably require structural changes in the global economy before it becomes business as usual.
