starb.jpgA California Superior Court awarded Starbucks Baristas $105 million dollars yesterday in a class action brought over the sharing  of tips.  The case was brought by Jou Chan who worked at Starbucks for a year while in college. Chou and the class alleged that Starbucks required the tip jar be split not just among lowly employees but the supervisor as well. This the court ruled was contrary to California labor law which allows tips to be pooled among workers but not by management. The Judgment will also be pooled and shared, this time by 100,000 former and current employees.
