"New Yorkers can take heart in the fact that fair-trade coffee served by a 100% unionized workforce is now available in our city," said Daniel Gross, a Starbucks barista and IWW organizer. "The Starbucks sweatshop approach to coffee is not the only way."

Emmy Gilbert does have at least half of a good idea, she's working before college. The other half of that good idea is to use your youthful energy to work more than one job, and save up money toward paying for college.
