NEW YORK (Reuters) - Starbucks Corp <SBUX.O> Chief Executive Officer Howard Schultz said on Sunday that the company planned to hire 10,000 refugees over five years in 75 countries, two days after U.S. President Donald Trump's executive order banning refugees from certain countries.

 

Trump on Friday put a four-month hold on allowing refugees into the United States and temporarily barred travelers from Syria and six other Muslim-majority countries, saying the moves would help protect Americans from terrorist attacks.

 

The order sparked widespread international criticism, outrage from civil rights activists and legal challenges.

The hiring efforts announced on Sunday would start in the United States by initially focusing on individuals who have served with U.S. troops as interpreters and support personnel in the various countries where the military has asked for such support, Schultz said.

 

Schultz has been outspoken on various issues and has put Starbucks in the national spotlight, asking customers not to bring guns into stores and urging conversations on race relations.

 

Schultz said on Sunday that if the Affordable Care Act is repealed and employees lose healthcare coverage, they would be able to return to health insurance through Starbucks.

 

Trump and a Republican-controlled legislature are seeking to undo much of the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare.

 

Schultz will step down as CEO in a few months to focus on new high-end coffee shops, handing the top job to Chief Operating Officer Kevin Johnson, a long-time technology executive. He will become executive chairman in April.

 

Schultz also affirmed the company's commitment to trade with Mexico, another subject that has been front and center of Trump's campaign.

If one wanted to be cynical, then judging by the global revulsion this order has generated, probably a very good move from a commercial perspective.

[lust]

I won't be buying anymore Starbucks, lol.

[ddavidovsky]

Giving local people's jobs to refugees is a massive moral hazard that will only encourage more opportunistic migration and cultural disintegration.

 

I'm now boycotting Starbucks.

Starbucks stock has been on the decline so how are they going to hire 10,000 people.

Did you not read the OP? 10,000 people across 75 countries! It is there, in black and white!!!

 

Do you think only Americans work in McDonalds around the world?

Yes, a rather dumb comment on my part.

 

If I had had more caffeine (either Starbucks or Redcup) I would have read the whole sentence. And yes, it will be a good business move.

In 2012 it was about 24 and now it's about 56. It's declined slightly from it's high in 2016. And you're confusing stock price with profits.

Starbucks Profit Tops Analysts’ Estimates as U.S. Sales Gain

 

Starbucks Corp. posted earnings that topped analysts’ estimates as new menu items and digital efforts like mobile ordering helped its U.S. business defy a restaurant-industry slowdown.

Profit rose to 56 cents a share, excluding some items, in the most recent quarter. That topped analysts’ average prediction of 55 cents.

Because that group is just the start - just the sweetener - and there are only a few dozen of those. It's the rest of the 10,000 that I object to, for the reasons stated.

'That group' no doubt contributed to minimising US casualties.

 

Why should vetted refugees be proactively denied job opportunities worldwide in order that they can move off welfare. Discrimination in job opportunities against refugees has been identified as one of the obstacles for integration.

 

 

[sungod]

Be interesting to see how much he will pay them?

 

Livable wage or minimum wage?

Because it encourages more of them to turn up and parasitise another economy and culture - whether they are on welfare or not. There are so many of them it is having a deleterious effect on local culture.

 

The real question is why they don't want to work hard to help their own country, their own people, their own culture? Why not work through the troubled times, helping build institutions and develop social organisation into a better future? You know the answer as as well as I do - not because they are 'persecuted' - it suits them to be persecuted if it gets them a ticket out - but because life is just a whole lot better elsewhere.

 

They need to be encouraged to stay in their own countries and work hard to develop them - if that costs them some discomfort, then they need to work harder at it - as my ancestors, with their protestant work ethic, worked hard to build up a free and prosperous nation, and had it pretty tough along the way. Foreign aid will be provided to those nations, as it always has been, by the west.

 

I know what you're going to say: I'm talking about migrants, and these Starbucks people are 'refugees'. This is the problem. Nobody seems capable of understanding the difference.

this is what we need.

let's make Donald a Lame Duck before his First 100 Days is out.

Donald the 4 Year Lame Duck president.

whatever he does, undo it by 10 fold.  I vote next time we get someone who declares an Iran Appreciation Day.  any knucklehead who thinks Iran is a bigger terrorist threat than Saudi Arabia is plain nuts....  what is the purpose of this ban? the same shit Kim Jung Un does when he coddles and feeds fear of the WRONG boogeymen.

same same.

NADA difference.

ZERO.

Hopefully he will use existing refugees and not create new ones for the jobs

although nice move from Starbucks still will not be drinking their capitalist coffee resulting in deforestation and slave like workers.

and i am sure Starbucks will pay less for those migrants than normal workers!!!

Edited January 30, 2017 by Galactus

[dunroaming]

Don't like Starbucks and never buy their coffee.  However now they are taking this stance against Trump I will be taking the family there at the weekend, hopefully we will be able to get a seat as I am sure their sales will rally customers considerably.

My, my what a deeply embittered person. No, I do not comply with your assumptions regards my beliefs. Yes, I do know the difference between a positively vetted asylum seeker granted refugee status and a migrant, apparently you do not.

 

No further need to communicate.

Schultz, the traitor who sold the Sonics, deserves an ignominious end. Who he hires is irrelevant. Several times a year I enjoy pissing on the wall of his Madison Park estate. Locally in the Seattle area we call his establishments "Charbucks".

This was exactly the advice that the USA gave to Jews fleeing Hitler.  And most of them ended up following it, albeit unwillingly.

[Sydebolle]

Schultz gets this better approved beforehand at his next congregation at the East wall of the synagogue he usually frequents, as not all those refugees suit the religious orientation of Starbucks in general and Schultz in particular.

On the other hand, the money to pay extra refugees double the normal salary is there if you see what Starbucks charges for that crap of coffee - good on you and mazeltov!

What happened to the old mantra of "America! Land of opportunities, come and live the American dream!"  Guess that is selective then.

[connda]

So Starbucks will be giving hiring preference to foreigners over the natives in those 75 countries they do business in?  So a Royinga refugee gets preferential status over my Thai family members, especially the younger ones who would benefit from such a job?
 

Ok. Fine.  I'm now officially boycotting Starbucks.  Finito! Done!  I'll be following this up with a letter to the company.

I wish I could boycott them, but that is impossible. I am just not stupid enough to pay fantastic prices for bad coffee. So I can't boycott what I never buy. I'll just have to do like @Johpa does if I ever get to Madison Park.

I suspect they will continue to employ Burmese nationals over Thai workers as they are cheaper and work harder.  That was my experience anyway.

Does Thailand accept muslim refugees and let them in here to work??  Are Thais having problems finding jobs?

 

I think you misunderstood something ..foreigners can't work at jobs like Starbucks.
