On October 2, 2007, the Industrial Workers of the World Starbucks Workers Union won their grievances against a Starbucks in East Grand Rapids, Michigan. The company chose to settle after the National Labor Relations Board found it responsible for anti-labor violations. The case is being recalled today as a milestone in labor history and in union organizing at Starbucks.

Why now: The date marks the anniversary of the 2007 IWW victory over Starbucks, being remembered in labor history posts.
