Even as news comes that Starbucks is improving its benefits for workers, the union is considering a strike.
Ahead of the final union negotiations of the year, Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol announced that the company would be increasing benefits for baristas who are soon-to-be parents.
“Starting March 2025, we are more than doubling paid parental leave for our U.S. store partners who work an average of 20 hours a week or more,” Niccol said. “Birth parents will receive up to 18 weeks of fully paid leave, and non-birth parents will receive up to 12 weeks of leave at full pay.”
