when two black men were handcuffed and paraded out the door of a Philadelphia Starbucks after a staffer called the police when the men, who said they were waiting for a friend to arrive, refused to leave. The incident prompted Starbucks to shutter all of its 8,000 company-owned stores for a day of anti-bias training.
Among those are launching a mentorship program that connects Black, Indigenous and people of color employees to senior leaders and publicly disclosing data that reflects the diversity of the workforce. Currently, Starbucks U.S. employees are 53.5% white, 27% Hispanic or Latinx, 8% Black, 6% Asian, 5% multiracial, and then less than 1% Native American or Native Alaskan and less than 1% Native Hawaiian or other pacific islander.A Starbucks employee wears a face shield and mask as she makes a coffee in Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Arlington, Virginia, May 12, 2020.
Finally, Johnson said the Starbucks Foundation will provide $1.5 million in grants to community-based nonprofits that focus on"local impact."
Increase their presence in diverse communities. They’re competing for a limited resource in today’s venture capitalist economy where jobs are shipped overseas, schools are underfunded, and minorities are incarcerated at high rates.
go woke go broke ...bucks for me
Finally! Don't know how white bitches with tattoos always got those jobs ahead of me And they have good benefits
Oh my goodness. If someone works hard and is productive, hire them. Don't look at skin color. Hiring should be colorblind, with the most qualified hired first, no matter what their skin color is! Work hard and succeed, which is an American value.
Another woke virtue signalling shop to avoid
That's that sorted, they have ended that racisms........
Thank you mr. President. For making America great again. And for keeping Americans first. I am a Latino born in the United States of America. And I'm very grateful to the Lord God Almighty for my beautiful country. TRUMP 2020🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Well that should do it. There's nothing these executive types won't do for money.
Sorry ass news network...your townhall was as pitiful as your network and your reporters
Starbucks for life
How is Starbucks more important than Hunter’s emails? The Biden’s are corrupt!!!
Bullshit. Send us a pic of their C-Suite and Board of Directors.
Jesus Christ. We know the data and what it says about the typical American workplace and how it’s impacted by implicit bias in hiring, promoting, disciplinary actions, etc. Please GTFOOH with that denial bullshit. We shouldn’t NEED to take these actions yet here we are.
Help we Nigerian Youth Endsars Please endsars
Are they going to pay their taxes whilst they are at it?
How is this not racist?
Unbelievable, affirmative action on steroids
So much for hiring the best qualified
Lies
Stupid idea. Now their insurance costs will go up due 2 increased theft & fraud by the new employees they’re thinking about adding!!
Building of inclusive and diverse teams isn't that part of the business plan already?
THAT MEANS THEY WILL CHARGE MORE FOR THEIR STUPID CHEAP COFFEE MASKED BY SUGAR SURUPS AND COOL NANES ... My corner deli has better coffee quality
Women are better than men, brown women better than white, brown Muslim women are better than Christian, but don't you ever dare to blame China in brown Uygur Muslim women oppression!
Like Philz coffee better these days.
I think it's great that Starbucks decided to pay its employees the same wages as its executives.
'Bold'? They're scared to shit by the woke mob.
Sounds a bit like Democratic Capitalism. I like it.
This is the definition of Institutionalized Racism. Racism
Hiring based solely on skin tone is not only discriminatory,, but it's also racist.
Any company or person with any goal other than excellence is doing it wrong.
Huh, I remember when it was the executives job to build the best team they could regardless of race or gender, now who cares how good the team is as long as it meets some made up level of inclusivity?
Seems like they haven't learned Gillette's lesson.
The true measure would be the diversity of its executives, not its blue collar workers
Sorry to say, but this has been debunked by fact checkers
good

If you need to tie human core values to leaderships' compensation, you might want to - 1. Improve your selection process 2. Get yourself a new leadership team 3. Do 1 before 2.
Always Be Cryin'
Um.. Why haven't you always done that Starbucks? Do you want a badge for finally doing the right thing, when it's taken basically a war in our streets to get you here
Listen, JACK.. It's a dictatorship.. Let me set the record straight on something what was said.. And the kids, they loved it too man.. many know he 's facing a good prison population, push the code at recommitting to those and achieve what ' s common It 's simple:
Does diversity deliver better service? Prove it. Does diversity make a better cup of coffee? Prove it. I'll make my own coffee or five my business to the little guy, thanks.
Very smart move by Starbucks. They’ve had troubles (very public troubles)with this in the past and this is a great move to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Plus money is the only way these people will listen.
The youngsters in China have an inclination that things imported from abroad or from the highly developed countries are better than products produced inside the mainland of China, so it goes well for Starbucks to develop in China so rapidly, being everywhere in big cities.
That is awesome!👏🏽
good girl
