Tap title to read story
Starbucks is updating its employee uniform policy, requiring solid black tops under green aprons and limiting pant colors to khaki, black, or blue denim starting May 12th. This is part of CEO Brian Niccol's broader strategy to revitalize the brand amid declining sales and unionization efforts. The changes aim to create a more consistent customer experience and simplify employee guidance. However, Workers United, a union representing some Starbucks employees, criticized the move, urging the company to prioritize collective bargaining instead.
