Starbucks customers furious over 'new concentrate' used in drinks https://t.co/kqaCfELCMI https://t.co/gF16JuOs4I
Former NLRB chair Wilma Liebman (part of slate labor advocates nominated to Starbucks board) urges Starbucks & union get a mediator: “Rather than have this fester, I think it’s crazy not to look for some way to get it back on track & get the deal closed” https://t.co/IfpeSmjb7c https://t.co/HA13SOv9FI
For most of 2024, the union chose not to file any NLRB charges against Starbucks, as the 2 sides tried to resolve disputes without new litigation. Then over a couple days this week, the union filed 34 of them, over allegations including retaliatory firings https://t.co/czLTMgWkBW https://t.co/HA13SOv9FI
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.
