Outsider question: Why are Starbucks managers working with corporate against unionization? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by RedBeardDaGreat
Not a barista, just a fan!
I was reading a recent unionizing post and got to thinking: Why wouldn't the managers, leads etc in the stores be with the other employees? I can understand the district not being for it, but it seems everyone at the store level is over worked.
Is it just the fear of losing stability? When I managed a pizza place, I was always fighting for my employees to get that $0.10 extra an hour, approved for vacations, anything to keep them happy and make things run smoother.

Management works for management, not the workers. Any manager that were pro-union would find themselves forced to change opinions or their job. It seems that Corporate has a whole protocol on what to do if a location begins considering unionization, so the store manager (and everyone all the way up) will get their marching orders.
Nothing frightens Corporate at any level than the word “union”.

That’s what I don’t get. Managers should be there with you, or at least fighting for you. Not playing the game. They need you to be happy to do their job

I think it’s also managers aren’t in the union. As for SSVs… higher potential for “bootlickers” in that crowd generally. And ofc propaganda from even before this job

Is there a reason they aren’t union? Do they have their own?

Generally, salaries higher ups aren’t represented by the union
