We’re ready to talk – if Workers United is
Workers United, which represents only 4% of our partners, chose to walk away from the bargaining table. We’ve asked them to return—many times. If they’re ready to come back, we’re ready to talk.
Any agreement must be reasonable and reflect reality: Starbucks offers the best job in retail, including more than $30 per hour on average in pay and benefits for hourly partners. Benefits include comprehensive health care, equity in the company, up to 18 weeks of paid parental leave and college tuition paid upfront—all available for partners who average just 20 hours a week of work.
We’ve invested over $500 million to improve staffing and support in our coffeehouses. The results speak for themselves. People like working at Starbucks: rosters are growing, turnover is nearly half the industry average, partner engagement is up and we receive more than 1 million job applications a year.
Workers United should come back to the table.
