Warren worries Fed pushing us into recession

Thus far, more than 230 Starbucks (SBUX) locations have been the target of successful unionization drives. Starbucks has a reputation as a progressive company... CEO Howard Schultz even toyed with the idea of running for president. However, all that talk goes out the window when it comes to the bottom line. The fact is that we've developed a vast service economy that only tends to work if labor costs can be controlled. We have an extremely tight labor market right now... something the Fed is deliberately trying to loosen with its monetary policy.
In other words, the Fed is trying to make it so workers aren't paid so much. This isn't some cartoonish, mustache-twirling scheme. If labor costs go up, prices go up. If prices continue to go up, we don't get inflation under control. And if we don't get inflation under control, then we get the possibility of stagflation. It's been reported that about 85 employees have been terminated so far for unionization efforts. Now, obviously something like this is extremely controversial...
But the government is taking sides. Last week, Judge Sheryl Lipman said SBUX had five days to reinstate employees who had supposedly been fired for "safety" policies, but which organizers said was due to their pro-labor activities. A regional office of the National Labor Relations Board accused SBUX of breaking the law last week by allegedly promising increased benefits if employees rejected unionization.
And lest you think this is just one company... a branch of Chipotole (CMG) had its first location unionize last week. This is happening at a host of different companies. It's something our own Mr. X is keeping a careful eye on... other than energy costs, the cost of labor may be the most important thing investors should focus on... And don't ever forget that even the most successful company, including one as ubiquitous as Starbucks, is guaranteed survival for even one more year. Take nothing for granted.
