Starbucks union lowers proposed wage floor to $17 in bid to restart contract talks
"Baristas recently met, deliberated, and found consensus around fair and reasonable measures to support baristas. Workers are in conversation with the company about the road back to the bargaining table, and those discussions are ongoing."
"At Starbucks, we are committed to all our partners, and where they have chosen union representation, we have been engaging in good faith bargaining."
Starbucks Workers United has lowered its proposed starting wage to $17 per hour, down from its previous $20 demand, marking a significant shift in the union's negotiating position. The union provided this revised economic proposal to management 30 days prior to making it public. Starbucks management has proposed resuming in-person bargaining on March 30, which would be the first negotiation session since talks stalled in December 2024. Union baristas met and reached consensus on fair measures to support workers. Starbucks management maintains it respects workers' organizing rights and engages in good faith bargaining, while disputing allegations of union busting.
