"Its success stems from its impressive user base. Starbucks, for example, has a vast workforce spread across more than 23,000 stores in 65 countries, yet 10% of employees are registered on CoWorker.

A successful CoWorker campaign led to the decision by Starbucks to end ‘Clopenings’ (asking employees to work back-to-back shifts over night, meaning they close the shop and then open it again the next morning) after more than 10,000 Starbucks employees signed a petition. In another high-profile win in October, Skechers was forced to announce that they were rethinking their dress code policy after employees organised a petition in protest against the brand’s opposition to visible tattoos."
