This is why labor laws are so important — and exactly why big corporations spend so much money lobbying against them.
It's also why unions are vital — and why we need to support @sbworkersunited.org's fight against corporate greed.

NEW: For years, NYC Starbucks workers have claimed that the company has arbitrarily cut their hours, denying them stable schedules. In a historic settlement announced today, Starbucks has to pay out $35 million to 15,000 workers.

"The department found most Starbucks employees never got regular schedules and the company routinely reduced employees' hours by 15% or more, making it difficult for them to count on their income."
BREAKING: According to a recent investigation by NYC's Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, Starbucks illegally violated workers' protection laws in NYC 500,000 times since 2021. Over $35.5 million will be paid in restitution to Starbucks workers!

It has never been that people aren’t working hard enough; it has always been that people aren’t being paid enough for their work.
One job should be enough for every single person in this country. Not three jobs, not back-breaking hours, not hustling just to fall behind again.
One job.
One job.

WHAT STARBUCKS WILL PAY FOR:
✅A swanky office with all the fixings so CEO Brian Niccol can chill near his home in Newport Beach
❌Investing in workers with fair pay, hours, & protections in a union contract that would cost LESS THAN 1 DAY OF SALES

$96,000,000 for 120 days of work. $15/hour for baristas who can’t get enough hours to qualify for benefits. That’s greed, not “the best job in retail.”
