The image is now iconic. An arctic wolf fursona in a Starbucks smock. Stance set wide. A sign in his hand held high that reads \u201cUNION YES!\u201d

This was Michael Vestigo dressed in his Fursona as Apollo, a former Starbucks employee in Overland Park, Kansas. Why former? The company fired him for \u201cdisplaying violent and threatening behavior\u201d after he participated in a walkout of his location as part of a unionization effort.

Vestigo is fighting to get his job back and he\u2019s not the only person Starbucks has retaliated against for trying to form a union. As Apollo, he\u2019s become a symbol of a movement that\u2019s sweeping the country. 

Apollo joined us on today\u2019s episode of Cyber to answer your burning questions about Unions and Starbucks.
