Starbucks Dress Code Sparks Strike

Starbucks recently implemented a new dress code policy, causing significant unrest among its employees. Over 2,000 baristas from 120 U.S. stores have gone on strike to protest these changes.

The new dress code requires employees to wear solid black shirts and specific types of pants. This is a change from the previous policy, which allowed a wider range of dark colors and patterned shirts. Starbucks claims this change will make their green aprons stand out and create a more consistent look for customers.

However, many workers disagree with this decision. They argue that the dress code should be subject to collective bargaining and that Starbucks should focus on more important issues, such as improving coffee quality and employee satisfaction. Some employees also criticize the company for selling Starbucks-branded clothing that they are no longer allowed to wear to work.
