Welcome to Winning Wednesday!
As you know, Starbucks Workers United recently won a huge victory when the company agreed to sit down and negotiate with them. Many employers fighting unions will award new benefits to non-union workers only, trying to dissuade employees from supporting the union. Starbucks was one of these companies.
But now they’ve had their change of heart, Starbucks announced today a rollout of a slew of benefits to union workers over the next couple of months. Workers have fought for this for a long time and now it’s here. There is power in a union!!
Here's just a few highlights:
Pay increases up to 5% for 2-5 years of service, up to 7% for 5+ years (awarded to non union workers in summer 2022)
Receive credit card and digital tips in their paychecks
Wear the extended dress code including jeggings, white shoes, and additional colors in the approved palette
