starbucks like amazon is fiercely antiunion, and the message that starbucks and amazon send is do not try to unionize, we are self atrocious antiunion you do not have a chance. but there is this initial effort to unionize a few starbucks in buffalo and in december the very first workers at a starbucks for the first time voted to unionize , so that was the first of 9000 company owned and operated starbucks to unionize and that excited people. people, that really excited people. workers, the floodgates opened up. now we have seen workers at over 200 starbucks in over 30 states petitioning to hold union elections. so we have one starbucks store in december that unionized, 20 voted in favor of unionization, and 200 have voted for elections. so that as a whole lot of momentum. and a union backing, there is a momentum of workers that are so excited to see fellow starbucks workers unionizing and saying hey, we can do that too. it is one thing to win a majority of 25, 30 workers of a starbucks, to get 15 to 20 to vote for a union. it is harder to get the 1500 to 3000 amazon workers at a wareh

starbucks workers united has successfully unionized over a dozen starbucks shops, including in new york, washington, tennessee, missouri. and on monday, workers at two stores in boston, massachusetts, unanimously voted to unionize. just last week, workers at a high-end starbucks in the chelsea neighborhood of manhattan voted to become the first starbucks to unionize in new york city. it is one of the largest starbucks in the world. this all comes despite an aggressive union busting campaign from the starbucks corporation that includes firing pro-union workers in retaliation and forcing workers to attend anti-union meetings. the national labor relations board's general counsel has argued is illegal under federal law. meanwhile, the nlrb says it's planning to formally accuse starbucks of illegally firing a group of seven workers who were fighting to unionize their starbucks store in memphis, tennessee. last monday, howard schultz spoke out against the unionization drive during a town hall meeting with about 15,000 employees. >> now, here's where it gets a little sensitive because i have b

the momentum is there at starbucks. at amazon, how do you bring that expertise model to other amazon warehouses? christian smalls, the fired amazon worker who started this unionization effort says workers at over 100 other facilities across the united states has contacted him and they say, we true want to unionize. how does he kind of sit down and explain to them, this is how it works? i think he will need some money, some backing, some lawyers, perhaps provided by the unions, so the model of success can be replicated in other cities. there will be other successful unions to. we will see what happens there. the victories at amazon and starbucks have created more excitement among workers. especially young workers, anything -- host: this is steven greenhouse in connecticut. he is on our line for republicans. go ahead, stephen with your question or comment. caller: this is a well felicitated announcement from you on unions. everything out of your mouth is how great a union is, does such great things. that union structure,

i don't own starbucks to be a growth company per se.o see growth in china and growth initiatives are in segment growth look, the reason -- i guess the other, we have a stepdown of the ceo because he said he was resigning but, really, this company has been terribly run. so i'm frustrated because as a shareholder, i think starbucks earned its way into a place where it was a completely predictable company in terms of pays and buybacks and some sense where u.s. comps would be plus or minus and china could be upside but to me if you walk into the stores right now, many seem like they're in disarray. this is a company that would have three scores within a square block this is a company that i think has not really managed and optimized their labor force at a time when labor prices have gone through the roof so i don't need to hear they're going into growth initiatives and i think that's frustrating i want to hear about a ceo saying our prices have gone higher, we have to deliver a better product to the consumer it gets me a little concerned th

[laughter] david: howard schultz has been a mentor of sorts. is that correct? he is the founder of starbucks. mellody: very important. for sure, for sure. david: there are other coffee chains around the world. it isn't like he invented coffee chains. what did he do that made it the biggest in the world? mell

and there's two conundrums i see at starbucks.labor issue you're talking about. the other issue is simply that there are too many people in those stores right now they need to either somehow invest in technology or other things to make that whole situation a more workable situation. no matter how many times you walk through a starbucks store these days, there's just too many people there, and you're going to have to invest in that. i could see a starbucks saying, look, if we support a unionization effort, that means more money will go to the employee side of it than necessarily in upgrading the stores or the other opponent parts that might make the employee's life easier in some other ways. >> i think the starbucks partners in those stores would take issue with how many people are staffing the stores and whether it's too much or too little that's why howard schultz on his first day at starbucks needs to decide whether to welcome the union and treat his partners as actual partners in making that company that they actually love and

since 2017, starbucks has reduced the shares outstanding about 20%.about 20% what that means, all things considered, earnings per share look 20% better by the buybacks that they have been doing. that's going to be suspended that's one of the reasons i expect it's down now two things stand out number one, we are continuing to see earnings hold up very well despite the inflation. we are going to be in record territory for earnings once again if the analysts' estimates hold up. q1, $51, we have to get over 53 to have a record quarter the other three quarters, we are going be in that area. that tells me $51 is low they are going to be raising those numbers probably because so far the numbers look like they are holding up and the analysts are again underestimating the quality of the earnings we are seeing second thing, analysts are again really, really bullish out there. how bullish? well, of all the -- interesting note over the weekend, 10,000 stock recommendations out there, of them right now 57% of all analysts' recommendation are buys is that little or
