Baristas in America Are Sharing Their Salaries — And Hoping for Change | Eater

"Often treated as an industry benchmark, base pay at the company can be relatively low on the lower end (Glassdoor estimates around $8 per hour), but many full- and part-time workers receive more extensive benefits—including health coverage, 401(k) matching, tuition reimbursement, and paid time off—which supporters cite as evidence the employer 'really takes care of their employees.' Workers and activists have organized petitions and campaigns urging higher minimum wages (for example, a push for a $12 floor), highlighting tensions between base pay and overall compensation." - Matthew Sedacca
