Need2Know Headlines

Starbucks has to pay an additional $2.7 million to a former employee who sued the company for wrongful termination. Back in June, a jury ruled in favor of Shannon Phillips who was the regional director of Starbucks in Philadelphia and claimed she was fired for being white following outrage from two black men getting arrested at a Starbucks in Philadelphia that was in 2018. Now, according to the lawsuit, Phillips was not involved in those arrests and was originally given $25.6 million.
