Decision comes as chief executive Brian Niccol seeks to turn around sprawling coffee chain
Starbucks has more than doubled paid leave for new parents working at 10,000-plus US stores, a policy change under new chief executive Brian Niccol as the company manages a union-organising push among baristas. The improved benefit of up 18 weeks of paid leave will be available to the more than 200,000 baristas, store managers and other retail employees who work at company-operated stores. They currently receive six weeks of paid leave.
The improved benefits bring parental leave for baristas roughly in line with the benefit already available to Starbucks corporate employees. Any US store employees who work at least 20 hours a week would be eligible for the longer parental leave, Starbucks said. Michelle Eisen, a Starbucks barista and Workers United bargaining delegate, said the union last month had proposed to double parental leave for store employees.
