Starbucks Employees Sue Over Costly Dress Code
Starbucks workers in three states have filed lawsuits against the company, claiming the new dress code violates laws requiring reimbursement for employee expenses, with some workers having to spend hundreds of dollars to comply. The company introduced a stricter dress code aiming to create a consistent customer experience, but workers argue it imposes unnecessary costs and restricts self-expression. The lawsuits mark a shift in union efforts amid ongoing contract negotiations.
