罷工潮愈演愈烈,近60家門店關閉,美國星巴克難過聖誕節?

聖誕節前夕,美國星巴克罷工潮不斷蔓延。

自上週五開始,星巴克工會在美國多個城市舉行罷工,並且愈演愈烈。

這有可能成為這家咖啡巨頭有史以來規模最大的罷工。

受此影響,星巴克股價在過去5個交易日已下跌超5%。今日美股盤前,公司股價繼續走低,現報87.35美元。

平安夜,罷工繼續擴大

當地時間19日,星巴克工會宣佈進行為期五天的不公平勞工行為罷工。

截止本週一,包括紐約、洛杉磯、波士頓和西雅圖在內的12個主要城市的60多家美國星巴克門店已關閉

工會還表示,週二罷工將蔓延至更多城市的其他門店。

預計在聖誕前夜,美國300多家門店的5000多名工人將參與罷工這可能會影響公司一年中最繁忙的聖誕季生意。

據悉,星巴克在美國擁有超1.1萬家門店,員工約20萬名。

在正常工作日,一家星巴克直營門店的銷售額約為4000至8000美元,12月份的銷售額則往往更高。

為此,星巴克週一發表聲明稱,97%至 99%的星巴克門店將繼續運營並,罷工預計對整體運營的影響“非常有限”。

星巴克表示,工會過早結束了雙方的談判會議,並拒絕重返談判桌。

當工會回到談判桌上時,公司將準備繼續談判。

訴求:升薪

罷工的起始,源於星巴克與工會之間的談判陷入僵局。

自年初以來,雙方一直在就工資、人員配備和工作時間安排等問題談判,其中包括150多項不公平勞工行為指控問題懸而未決。

此前星巴克承諾每年為工會員工加薪1.5%或更多,但工會並不滿意該方案。

工會表示,罷工是因為公司沒有立即給他們加薪,並保證在隨後的幾年中加薪1.5%,這對小時工來説相當於每小時不到50美分。

同時,公司也未能履行此前做出的今年達成勞動協議的承諾。

星巴克則表示,工人聯合會的升薪訴求是不可持續的。

“工人聯合會的提議要求立即將小時工的最低工資提高64%,並在三年合同期內提高77%。這是不可持續的。”

公司稱,過去三年來,星巴克已在合作伙伴體驗方面投資了30多億美元,並重申公司提供每小時超過18美元的有競爭力的平均工資和一流的福利。

對於每週工作至少 20 小時的咖啡師來説,星巴克的平均工資和福利加起來相當於平均每小時30美元。
