BIZNOTE: West Seattle Junction Starbucks workers say their store is closing

A local company that is being demonized in its own town. Starbucks created a LOT of jobs for entry level workers. They gave generous benefits and tuition reimbursement. A barista job was never meant to be a means to support a family. Barista jobs are for students and folks entering the workforce. I am sad so many here hate Starbucks.

  • Are you sad at all about how Starbucks has been caught union busting and evading tax?

I don’t know many people who hate Starbucks. I know people who hate it when companies say they care about workers and then refuse to let those same workers have a say in their working conditions. I know people who hate when companies say workers should put up with being treated like crap because they get tuition reimbursement. What I really hate is people who in the same breath clearly express that a job needs to be done, while also saying that job is so unimportant it should just be done by “students and folks entering the workforce”…
