Shift supervisors at local Starbucks cafes are demanding a pay raise after a recent Massachusetts court decision banned them from sharing in baristas’ tips.
The IWW Starbucks Workers Union said Friday it sent a petition to the Seattle-based coffee chain signed by more than 300 local Starbucks employees and supporters asking the company to compensate the shift supervisors for a “de facto pay cut.”

Are tips truly gratuitous if they are required to bring compensation level to the minimum wage?
Starbucks can't afford to pay their shift supervisors and the shortfall should be made up by the customers who just put down $4 for a frothy coffee? Really?
