On the menu : Starbucks will extend healthcare to Chinese employees’ parents, Lithuanian Labor code reform soon to come into force, a code of ethics for the labor inspectorate in France.
China/Starbucks will extend healthcare to employees’ parents. On 11 April the announcement was made that Starbucks will cover parents under the age of 75 of employees who have been employed for by the company for at least two years. This move was presented both as a response to the country’s traditional values where young nationals have to cope with being responsible for their parents and as a way to boost the loyalty of young and often under-employed workers, and it pays for supplementary cover charges relating to 30 critical illnesses (cancer, cardiac problems, Alzheimer’s disease, etc.)
