Under the deal, more than 15,000 current and former hourly workers are expected to receive $50 for every week they worked between July 4, 2021 and July 7, 2024, city officials and Starbucks announced to the media. The agreement follows a multi‑year investigation into Starbucks’ scheduling practices across its New York City stores and comes as the company faces a prolonged national labor fight and an ongoing strike at more than 120 locations.
