Starbucks is again in the news, this time faces will to determine new limits of what his barists can wear under their green aprons.
Starbucks said that the new dressing code causes its green aprons to stand out and create a sense of acquaintance for customers. It comes when the company tries to restore a warmer and more pleasant experience in its store, said the report AP.
“By updating our dressing code, we can provide a more consistent café experience that will also bring simpler and clearer instructions to our partners, which means they can focus on what matters most, create great drinks and support customers’ connections,” she said on her website.
Why is new dressing unwelcome
However, this step was not welcomed by Starbucks Workers United, a group of work that has united staff in more than 550 10,000 American Starbucks stores.
The group said last week said the company said that during the negotiation session with the company was already negotiating a preliminary dressing agreement. The Union has stated that it is against any changes in the dressing code until the negotiations are concluded and a work agreement is reached.
“Starbucks prefers a limiting dressing code that does not improve the operation of the company,” said Jasmine Leli, delegate of the barista negotiation and Union negotiation, in a statement provided by the Department.
Leli said the company should focus on things that improve the operation of trades such as suitable personnel stores and the provision of workers guaranteed number of hours.
“They forced barists to pay for new clothes when we fight because it’s on Starbucks wages and without guaranteed hours.”
The new management comes almost ten years after Starbucks released its dressing to give employees more opportunities for self -expression. In 2016, the company would expand the color of the shirt that employees could wear, add a gray, navy, dark denim and brown to the previous black or white leadership. In these colors also allowed patterned shirts.
In 2019, the company again improved dressing, allowing one face to penetrate unless it was more than a dime. The new dressing code still allows one face puncture.
What is the new dressing code
From May 12, employees will be obliged to wear a solid black shirt and khaki, black or blue denim bottom. Shirts can be short or long sleeves and collar or without collar, she said, in the note issued on April 14. Starbucks give each employee two free T -shirts.
In addition, barists can wear any shade of khaki, black or blue denim bottom. The previous dressing code also allowed gray and brown.
The new rules are part of the efforts of the CEO of Brian Niccol to revive the coffee giant. The company bet that changes will create a more consistent view across shops because the chain brings back comfortable cafes that encourage people to persist – and spend more.
The Green Apron Starbucks has been since 1987 and has become the basis of the brand that barists are often referred to as “Green Partners”.
