Starbucks set for talks with unionized US stores
==========
Starbucks is set to hold talks with labor representatives from 425 stores that have voted to unionize in the United States. The goal is to establish a "foundational framework" on key issues such as wages, scheduling policy, and access to healthcare. The contracts will be negotiated by each individual store and ratified accordingly. Starbucks hopes to reach contracts and have them ratified with unionized stores in 2024. The push by Workers United gained momentum after a successful campaign in Buffalo, New York in late 2021. Starbucks has nearly 18,000 stores in North America, about 60 percent of which are company-owned. The addition of benefits to employees at unionized stores was a "sign of good faith" by Starbucks. Laxman Narasimhan, the CEO of Starbucks, has a goal of "restitching the fabric of the green apron for all partners at Starbucks."
