Okay, how's this for a lawsuit?
Charlotte, NC -- My girlfriend works at Starbucks, she has worked there for nearly 5 years. For at least the last year she has been working 40+ hours a week. In spite of this fact she has been denied full-time benefits because she is considered a "part-time" employee. Around a month ago she inquired with her store manager about receiving full time benefits since she has been working full time for so long. Now, less than 5 weeks later, she has been demoted, citing a bad "secret shopper" score, complete with paycut and knocking her down to about 13 hours a week.
It would seem to me like not only would she have a case, but that there would be the potential for a class-action lawsuit if similar circumstances are prevalent other places in the company.
