Starbucks Could Owe Millions To Baristas Who Unionized

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Federal officials claim Starbucks cut workers’ hours at hundreds of unionized stores without bargaining over it — and they want the coffee chain to pay up. The new NLRB complaint alleges Starbucks changed workers’ hours “without prior notice to the Union and without affording the Union an opportunity to bargain.” The complaint also says Starbucks has refused to provide the union information about the changes and how they impacted members’ paychecks. “We’re pleased to see the NLRB take bold action to support working people.” Workers at 500 Starbucks stores around the country have joined the Workers United union since late 2021, making it one of the most high-profile U.S. organizing efforts in decades. “The board's complaint backs up the concerns baristas and shift supervisors have shared time and time again regarding understaffing in our stores.” - Michelle Eisen, Starbucks barista and union leader Starbucks was led by its famous co-founder and longtime chief executive Howard Schultz at the time of the alleged scheduling cuts. Dolce said the union was encouraged to see Starbucks negotiating in good faith and confident the company would “do the right thing.” “Part of establishing that productive relationship moving forward includes remedying past wrongs, especially ones like these, that have impacted the lives of thousands of workers across the country,” he said.
