Howard Schultz announced on Tuesday that he is stepping down from his post as Starbucks CEO two weeks earlier than his scheduled departure date, resigning just before a hearing led by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) about the company's union busting next week.
Schultz began his third stint as CEO of the company last year when, as workers said, the company brought him back to lead the fight against Starbucks Workers United's wildly successful union campaign.
