Starbucks has yet to sign a contract with any unions nationwide in their continuing campaign to prevent any union effectiveness.

Edit.

And also freezes pay and benefits at the location while adjusting it at non union locations to aid turnover of union locations and while claiming no adjustments will be made until an agreement is completed.

I agree that it is the case, thanks to the settlement of the Feingold suit in 2006, and the two decades of investment since then.

New York only in the last year settled a similar accessibility suit, and is three decades away from coming into substantial compliance, under the settlement funding process.

And has another active suits relating to buses.

The Swiss citizens in a referendum mandated Swiss Federal government takeover of the rail system, and continuing capital maintenance and improvement, supporting expenditures on rail.

Not so much in the US.

Wealthy communities will care about losing State funding / grants to improve roads in the amount of above a million dollars a year. Mass Works is one program.

And losing other grants, which could include grants for conservation lands, and in the fullnessvof time, eventually could include educational funding,

Not clear if it is zoned properly tor a dispensary. May have to go to town meeting to change the zoning to Commercial Industrial, where dispensaries are allowed.

Transfer of license is a shot in the dark, and at a new location, new owners, so a complete regulatory review is required.
