Protesters picket Edinburgh Starbucks

Protesters picketed Starbucks in Edinburgh and Glasgow city centres on the 20th of November. The protests were called by the Industrial Workers of the World, Edinburgh Chiapas Solidarity Group and Glasgow Zapatistas in solidarity with New York Starbucks workers and with the rebel indigenous movement in Mexico. Free Zapatista coffee was handed out to passers-by and prospective Starbucks customers and leaflets were distributed exposing Starbucks union-busting tactics and it's links with 'Conservation International' an enviromental "greenwash" organisation which has links with multinationals and the US government and which has called on the Mexican government to evict indigenous people from Montes Azules.
