Did they give you the line " remember we arent anti union, we are pro partner."
And then go over all of the benefits again 😂

Yes lol, but then got mad when I asked what benefits had the requirement of 20 hrs per week, we've been getting hecked by lack of hours.

I really wanted to do asu but I'm lucky to even get 18 hours now even after many conversations saying I need 20 hours for benefits

They're spending a fortune trying to convince you not to join. That should tell you all you need to know.

unions give employees a seat at the decision making table, they don’t want us to have a seat with them as equals, if we do something they don’t like they want that ability to take away our benefits. starbucks is a good company to start with but they still don’t really care about you…

Innocent question of how unions work ... Like, does the employer have to abide by what the union/employees demand in negotiation ?
NahImmaStayForever 3 points 1y ago
It's a negotiation. So both sides try to get the other side to compromise and give stuff up. Both sides have to agree. Sometimes the employees get to vote on the contract that has been accepted by the company, so you'd have to make your own decision if the contract was fair or if you wanted to fight for more. It's always a risk, but a union gives you information and power. Without a union you take it or leave it and get fired for any or no reason at all.
Once a contract has been accepted it must be followed or there can be punishments. Employees can be fired or risk getting the whole union sued(this is BS but it's the law) and similarly complaints can be made against companies in breach of the contract to the NLRB- the $1.

Yeah, they’ve been printing out anti union propaganda. Be patient and plan things out correctly. Unions work in favor of the employees and Starbucks clearly hates that.

I don't know how the Starbucks union will work but. I worked for a Starbucks in Kroger in a state where they had union and non union stores the union stores had free health care and a representatives to push for what they wanted union stores had to pay over time for working more than 8 hrs a day and working more than 40 hrs a week. however non union stores started their employees 3.00 more per hour which more than made up for the free health insurance plus the health insurance for non union stores was more comprehensive, non union stores only have to pay over time for working more than 40 hrs and you can get fired a little easier. I don't know if Starbucks unions will be the same but personally I would rather have the money.

They’re trying to get everyone fired for talking about unions while on the clock by entrapping you into doing it.

In the meeting, they said, we're not recording and we don't want you to be recording either. Also I'm already quitting, I have 5 shifts left.
