Starbucks must navigate an increasingly unionized workforce, with workers demanding respect and fair pay, posing challenges for CEO Brian Niccol to control rising costs.
The union represents 11,000 workers amid rapid growth, as Lynne Fox stated that Starbucks partners are seeking contracts ensuring respect, equity, and living wages for all.
With frontline baristas earning as low as $15 per hour, Niccol's challenge will be balancing increasing profits while addressing the rising labor costs from unionization.
Despite the unionization momentum being modest relative to Starbucks' total locations, the demand for higher wages and better work conditions is significant and growing.
