Caught Red-Cup-Handed: Why Starbucks (And All Employers) Must Provide Fair Schedules
Luckily for all of us, there are ways to improve scheduling conditions for workers. Predictable scheduling laws (or “fair workweek” laws) are designed to help workers with unstable schedules get more stability, predictability, and control over their work hours. And part-time parity laws ensure that workers can get access to the same workplace benefits whether they work part- or full-time hours.
