Starbucks said it will improve pay and benefits for most hourly workers in the U.S. starting Jan. 1.
But the company said if any workers are part of a union by then, they won’t get the new perks unless they’ve worked out contracts with the pay raise language approved, a sign of the continuing tension between the Seattle coffee giant and the union trying to organize its U.S. stores.The NLRB said at least 366 U.S. Starbucks stores have voted to unionize since 2021. But Starbucks and the Workers United union have yet to reach a labor agreement at any of those stores.
Employees who have worked five years or more will be eligible for a 5% increase, but since that’s a new benefit, it must be negotiated with Workers United and is therefore not available to unionized stores, the company said. Starbucks said it is also shortening the time hourly employees must work before accruing vacation days from one year to 90 days. That benefit is also only available to workers at non-unionized stores.Starbucks’ actions go against a September ruling by an administrative law judge for the NLRB, who ruled that the company acted illegally last fall when it raised pay only for non-union workers.
