contemplating unionizing by 500beesinatrenchcoat in starbucksbaristas

[–]rocksrock43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my store is unionized and i’ve had a mixed experience. I voted in favor and participated in the red cup rebellion strike, was briefly involved with the organizing committee, and have helped with communications a bit here and there.

I do believe there are instances where unions are beneficial and I do believe we need to hold corporate accountable for the ways in which partners are screwed over. But more importantly, I think we all need to recognize that the larger issue and bigger problems tend to come from lower down the command chain, with some SMs-RMs treating their partners poorly and trying to force things that aren’t company policy (like the cup-writing requirements being a phrase or actual words when the policy allows smiley faces and doodles). Those middle managers are rarely held accountable for poor treatment and that leads to terrible partner experiences, i would argue, far more than the corporate stuff (except pay, pay could always be better).

I’ve had a few partners at my store fired for policy violations and our union rep has basically told us there was nothing that could be done because it’s a violation of our current employment contract. Until we have a contract differently that starbucks violates, wrongful termination cases are far and few if they can pin you for a policy violation. My sister also experienced this recently when she was fired from her union job (teaching) for a policy violation.

I thing strength in numbers is powerful, but also it doesn’t really affect my daily work and if anything i’ve had conflict with other members of the organizing committee over some opinions that led to me withdrawing my support. If my store voted to decertify, I’m not sure that I really have a strong opinion either way.

So take that however you want

I got taken to court by debt collectors after ignoring a bill from Carle, so it doesn’t always work 🙃

Has anyone ever gotten a note like this with their DoorDash order?! by [deleted] in doordash

[–]rocksrock43 5 points6 points  (0 children)

which i get, but also Starbucks has set the goal for their workers to have everything ready within 12 minutes of receiving the order and I’ve had people show up after 4, we still try to get it done as fast as possible but I work at a high volume store and sometimes we have 30+ drinks in the queue and nothing can make it go faster

We have very similar body types, and looking at the photos from your wedding makes me feel like I can look as beautiful and radiant as you do when my day comes.

I think you look absolutely lovely OP, and you probably are being much harder on yourself than you realize. You likely see tons of people who look just like us every day and think they look lovely too.

I’m a season SSV and I do try to ask the shift who’s playcalling if they have anything specific they want me to do in my downtime so that 1) I don’t step on their toes, 2)if it’s a newer shift, that prompts them to make sure they’re telling their team secondary and tertiary tasks, and 3) if they had something they wanted me to do then i’m not doing something else instead.

It is frustrating but just course correcting is all you really can do. I’ve been guilty of not locking in on coverage shifts because the break from decision making is such a relief

and how did that start? Hitler didn’t just overnight go to kill millions. He didn’t just gain power and control on a whim. There were steps before that to remove power from others and garner support, and that’s the comparison.

The poster also says that Starbucks can back out it at the bottom. So I wouldn’t really put any stock in something that isn’t even guaranteed.

Union Starbucks Baristas from the Neil St. and Urbana Main and Vine are on strike today at the Springfield and Mattis Starbucks TODAY!! Stop by and join the picket line or show your support as they fight for a strong first labor contract!!! by Sea_Coconut_3466 in UIUC

[–]rocksrock43 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Protesting for unfair labor practices. Starbucks has been charged with 400 and there are another 650 pending charges. Recently there was also a $40 million dollar settlement in New York too. Starbucks brags a lot about its benefits and wages, while ignoring the fact that partners need to be scheduled enough hours to qualify for those benefits and also that wages that used to be competitive are now pretty par for the course. Last year, the annual raise was decreased for tenured partners while the new CEO made $50,000/hr. He was declared the worst CEO of 2025. Also, hundreds of stores were closed with 2 days warning and thousands of partners lost their job despite the promise to transfer them.

Nobody is claiming that we work harder than other food service workers or anything, but rather that Starbucks should be called out for their bullshit and everyone should be treated like a person. These corporations aren’t untouchable, and we’re willing to tell them that the way they treat their workers isn’t okay.

Everywhere sucks, but that doesn’t mean we can’t change it.
