This is crazy, right? 15k+ workers in NYC just got screwed outta their extra cash for years and now they're gonna get paid like $50/week from July '21 to '24 But it's not just that - this sets a huge precedent. If the mayor-elect & Senator Bernie are even showing up to support these workers, what does that say about the whole labor movement in this city? This "Red Cup Rebellion" is like, super necessary. Starbucks needs to clean up their act ASAP or face more consequences
I'm all about those worker rights! This is like, so long overdue for a company like Starbucks that's supposed to be all about serving the people, but in reality was basically treating its employees like disposable cups . 500k infractions? That's crazy! But you know what's even crazier? The fact that they tried to get away with it for so long and then just rolled out a settlement that's still super bare-bones compared to what workers deserve . I mean, $50 a week is nice, but like, come on! The city needs to step up its game and make sure these kinds of companies can't just waltz in and disregard their employees' basic rights without facing the consequences .
