Starbucks announces NFT initiative as union-busting controversy continues

Nonfungible tokens (NFTs) have seen their fair share of controversy, but now they have found their way into the midst of the battle between multi-billion dollar corporations and workers trying to unionize their workplaces in the United States.

On his first day back as the CEO of Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX), Howard Schultz promised additional worker benefits to workers and digital innovation using NFTs. In a partner open forum, Schultz mentioned that “sometime before the end of the calendar year, we are going to be in the NFT business.”
