Starbucks has started shelling out $14 million in court-ordered payouts to more than 13,000 Bay State baristas, who sued the chain five years ago because they were forced to share tips with their managers.
The checks — some of which total thousands of dollars — were cut late last month and mailed this week.
"It took more than five years to get to this result, so it was a long, hard fight," said Shannon Liss-Riordan, the attorney who represented the baristas. "A lot of different people work as Starbucks baristas. Some of them, for many of them, it's their career. It's where they make their money to pay the rent and their living expenses. People depend on these jobs.
"This is the result we wanted to see all along," Liss-Riordan said. "The baristas got a pay raise because their tips are no longer being shared with supervisors. The employees who were supervisors got an increase in their hourly rate, which makes up for them not being in their tip pool anymore."
A Starbucks spokesman yesterday reiterated the company's argument that managers spend most of their time doing the same work as baristas.
Massachusetts law prohibits supervisors from dipping into employees' tip pools.
