A lawsuit has been filed against Starbucks, Tim Hortons, and Second Cup, alleging that these coffee chains charge additional fees for non-dairy milk options. Specifically, the lawsuit claims that Starbucks and Second Cup impose an extra charge of 80 cents for non-dairy substitutes, while Tim Hortons charges an additional 50 cents. In a related development, Dutch Bros has eliminated its upcharge for non-dairy milks, following a similar decision made by Starbucks. Meanwhile, tensions are rising between Starbucks and its union, which has filed 34 complaints with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) this week, alleging law-breaking in 16 states, including claims of retaliatory firings. Former NLRB chair Wilma Liebman has suggested that both parties consider mediation to resolve ongoing disputes.
