Sen. Bernie Sanders, chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, said in a news release Wednesday that he and all Democratic members of his committee have invited Starbucks Corp. CEO Howard Schultz to testify before their panel about the company’s labor practices. Sanders, a Vermont independent who typically votes with Democrats, also said he has sent three letters to Schultz in the last year calling on him to end what the lawmaker described as “the egregious union-busting campaign the company has deployed against its own workers.”
