Axios - Health workers, along with K-12 teachers and military officers, are consistently viewed as the most ethical professions — but even their ratings have dropped considerably, new Gallup polling shows. The decline reflects falling confidence in U.S. institutions overall, with views of some medical professionals falling below pre-pandemic levels.
Nurses, pharmacist and
doctors were among the five professions with "majority positive" ratings
in the Dec. 2-18 poll. But nursing home operators had a "net negative"
rating. Despite their place on the list, trust in medical
doctors and pharmacists has fallen. Doctors' ethics rating is at the
lowest since the mid-1990s, Gallup said...
Only auto mechanics have experienced improved ratings since the 2000s. More here
The Guardian - Negotiations between Starbucks and its union have broken down with workers calling the company’s proposals “almost laughable” and highlighting the multi-million pay package of the coffee chain’s recently appointed CEO. Since late 2021, over 530 Starbucks stores have won union elections, representing more than 12,000 workers at the company. But talks aimed at negotiating a first union contract have stalled and the company has called the union’s proposals “not sustainable”.
Workers said the pay of Starbucks’ new CEO, Brian Niccol, who left Chipotle in August 2024 to assume the role of CEO at Starbucks, is at the center of the breakdown in contract negotiations between Starbucks and Starbucks Workers United.
Niccol’s pay package includes up to $113m in total compensation, 10,000 times the median salary of a Starbucks barista, with a $10m sign-on bonus, $75m in stock options plus a remote office in southern California and access to the company’s private jet to travel to Starbucks headquarters in Seattle, Washington.
