for most of its workers and begin to re-open stores it had closed in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But Starbucks employees who spoke with Business Insider said they fear it's too soon for Starbucks to ask its workforce to return to stores and end catastrophe pay for workers who feel unsafe going back to work.Most locations will not allow customers inside, with customers picking up their orders at the door, at drive-thrus, or via delivery.
Starbucks workers who spoke to Business Insider described the decision to end catastrophe pay and re-open stores as premature A spokesperson for the company, Reggie Borges, told Business Insider, "Partner and customer health and safety are our top priorities." Borges told Business Insider Sunday that Johnson was speaking about decisions that could be made "down the road" and said all lobbies would remain closed for the time being.
While Veronica said she initially understood the company's decision to require her to return to work, she disagreed with Starbucks' decision to end catastrophe pay when her county became one of a handful in California toVeronica, who lives with her father, stepmom, her grandmother, and two younger siblings, said she told her manager she "would not be able to return to work until my county lifted the shelter-in-place.
"I would rather be able to collect unemployment and comply with and protect the needs of my family," Veronica said.While some employees who have been mandated to take unpaid leave — and were not laid off during the pandemic— can still qualify for unemployment benefits,When asked whether the company would consider firing or laying off partners so they could apply for unemployment benefits, Borges told Business Insider the company would consider doing so.
"It takes pretty extreme situations to be fired [from Starbucks], and I have never heard of anyone being laid off," she said. "I'm going to be forced to quit at that point, and I don't believe that I will be able to get unemployment at that point either."
All business should reopen now, get America back to work 🇺🇸
wilde Are we not still awaiting the new Government guidelines on this or is it now 'do as you please'.. Like B&Q for example...
wilde They won’t stay open long if we don’t go in to buy stuff!
sincereBS I feel for them, but if this pandemic teaches us anything, I hope it's that we can get along just fine without $5 cups of coffee.
NateGavronsky They’d rather “make more on unemployment to sit on my arse playing video games or watching Tik-tok then go back to work” I fixed it for you😊
Why not to run pcr-tests to find those already immune and let them work, some probably were not aware they had corona, but at least they will have a job.
hblodget Shouldn’t they demand higher pay?
WMN4SRVL Wow you all called these people 'fearful' like there isn't an epidemic going on and said 'collect unemployment' like it isn't their right has hard working people. Hey person behind this tweeter are you safe at home? The tone here is really off, really really off.
This is exactly what I thought would happen. The mentality of Americans has shifted and it will be interesting how this devestates the economy even after the pandemic ends.
They say go to work or starve. The current situation is to go to work to get ill so that your family will not starve. If you die, your family will have food from your life insurance money.
cap cap italism..
Well...
Nobody should be forced to be locked in their homes. Similarly nobody should be forced to go to work.
