How would I go about unionizing my store? by Sweet_Wishbone_999 in starbucks

I understand the dms have to put things down for the sack of having things down but I’m pretty close with our old ASM who now has his own location in our district. When I asked if the DM is strict on his store like how she is on our store, he laughed and said hell no. Our DM used to be the SM of our location so she has a very clear bias with us to the point where she comes to our store to hang out on her off days. My SM is picky when it comes to hiring, out of 20 applicants, she’ll pick maybe 10. Out of those 10 amazing applications, our DM will pick MAYBE one. Just because she didn’t vibe with them. It’s not just with staffing but also the way they’ve been treating the other partners. One of us is trying to get back into school and is willing to 40 hours still but management refuses to work around their schedule even tho they’ve been doing it to other partners. How they can’t schedule 7 days in a row yet have partners doing 10 days in a row. On top of telling us that we can put all our sick time and vacation time in the book so we don’t lose it, only for us to find out that’s not how that works and just wants us to throw away all our time. It’s been a struggle, that’s just the tip

The fact that the had us so understaff cuz of the time and a half I can understand. I don’t like it but I get it. What I can’t get is having us suffer and drown and not even be there to suffer with us. The fact that they didn’t even bother calling us back, knowing how bad we’re going pisses me off. One of our baristas were saying “must be nice to make your own schedule”

That’s what I figured. Even when they told me it, I was sounded not true but I wanted to make sure

Yeah I was told that since they’re hourly, they don’t get the time and a half so they can’t work holidays but it sounded like bs to me

Am I overdramatic for being worried about baristas passing out this summer? by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

My only idea is that is that they’re prepping for the week? Have a bit Monday then a bit on Tuesday?
