What is the relationship between Starbucks and the union?
Our partners are at the heart of our business and we are committed to providing everyone who wears the green apron with a bridge to a better future.
Starbucks offers the highest wages and employee benefits in the industry to all eligible employees. This includes an average wage of $18.50 per hour, comprehensive health insurance, access to stock ownership and matching retirement contributions. On February 27, 2024, Starbucks announced a commitment with Workers United to a constructive and mutually respectful follow-up process toward the interests of all Starbucks partners. The agreement to initiate discussions is intended to achieve approved collective bargaining agreements for the represented partners, a resolution of disputes, and a fair labor organizing process.
Last year, the company entered into a third collective bargaining agreement with the United Steelworkers union in Canada, and negotiations are ongoing with other represented coffee shops in that country.
