Starbucks is probably 'the best first job in America,' former CEO says as Congress probes the chain's treatment of unions

You can't do better than Starbucks for a first job, the chain's former CEO told Congress on Wednesday.

"We put our people. First, we make decisions based on our people, and we have the track record to prove it," Schultz said."Starbucks is probably one of the best, if not the best, first job in America." Schultz also pointed to Starbucks' average hourly pay of $17.50 is"higher than the minimum wage in every state in America."

Schultz maintained the company has always negotiated in good faith with the union, adding that Starbucks is prioritizing face-to-face negotiations in union discussions. A complaint from the National Labor Relations Board filed late last year claims Saxton's firing was a direct result of his union activity. Other employees at the store where Saxton worked were also fired, he told the committee.
