Hot Topic: Ending Energy Star opposed by 85%

Starbucks instituted a more restrictive dress code for baristas in the US and Canada, requiring them to wear a solid black shirt under their green aprons paired with khaki, black, or denim bottoms. Starbucks Workers United, the union that represents 570 of the 10,000 company-owned Starbucks, is arguing that the change should have been agreed to as part of collective bargaining rather than imposed on workers. More than 1,000 workers have participated in a strike against the policy at 75 US stores so far.

Circling back: Last week, we told you that the Trump administration is reportedly planning to shut down Energy Star, the program that for 33 years has helped consumers save on energy costs by estimating the products’ annual energy costs. We asked if you thought the program should be shut down, and 84.8% of you said it should not be shut down, while just 15.2% thought it should be.
