"Starcups Workers Unite!" — Students Learn Their Workplace Rights.

The article "Starcups Workers Unite! - Students Learn Their Workplace Rights" describes a role-playing simulation conducted in a high school Law and Society class to educate students about the process of unionizing and the challenges faced by workers. The simulation focused on a fictional Starbucks store where students took on roles such as non-union workers, union workers, community members, corporate managers, and NLRB agents. Through this exercise, students gained a deeper understanding of workers' rights, the complexities of organizing a union, and the impact of profit-driven corporate practices on employees. The article also mentions the development of a five-day learning cycle to support the implementation of a new California law requiring secondary schools to educate students about their workplace rights.
