Union Trouble Brewing for Starbucks
Posted on 3/24/23 at 8:02 am

quote:
Scores of union Starbucks baristas from across the Pacific Northwest descended on a hotel in Seattle on Wednesday to unveil to Starbucks lawyers a set of proposals that they had been researching and debating for more than six months.
This is what they want:
quote:
A $20 an hour starting wage nationwide. A 37-hour week guarantee for full-time employees. A 100 percent employer-covered health-care plan for full- and part-time workers. Credit card tipping at all stores.
Talks “ground” to a halt after four hours.
quote:
The session lasted close to four hours — much longer than any of the roughly 90 previous bargaining sessions held since last October — though workers did not get a chance to share all of their demands with management before Starbucks’ lawyers packed up to leave.

So $40k a year plus benefits to make coffee.
Ridiculous, how will they pay off their student loans in the XXXXX studies degree?

For as liberal as Starbucks presents itself, they’ve squashed the unionization attempts thus far. Most of the stores to unionize have been nearly immediately closed and all employees laid off and unions not recognized by corporate

$20/hour minimum is somewhat reasonable.

Hell, he in BR they start at $15. can be at $20 after a year if they show they want more responsibility.
however, they are lucky to get 28-32 hrs a week.
i think i remember earing that when a store in the NE tried to unionize, the shut the store down.....
Union plumbers/pipe fitters in BR start at about $15/hr.....
