What are they actually striking for? The article said they were striking for a contract + cleaning up the kitchen. It’s not even clear to me why keeping the kitchen sanitary would be an issue for management.

Cleaning supplies cost money, costs money to pay people to clean it, management doesn’t want to pay for that.

I worked for a multinational table service restaurant chain when I lived in Florida. I don't want to name them. One time our last broom broke and our cheap ass GM refused to buy a new one. That asshole made us use our hands to "sweep the floor". We couldn't use gloves either because those also cost money. Super glad I don't work for that company or live in that shit hole state anymore.

The distinction is that most chains are franchises whereas Starbucks is 100% corporate. Seems like a repetitional risk to the company for their flagship to be associated with black mold and bugs.

Maybe the greed got the better of them. Could also be thinking, “we’re a respected national chain, people won’t believe we’d have sanitary issues.” (Like you’re doing right now).

Wouldn’t management want to pay for it since they work there too? I think it’d be like…upper management or corporate management screwing over the retail staff, no?

That’s the thing, upper management pressures the store managers to maximize profits
