* 한 회사의 직원 전체 : workers, employees, staff, workforce, payroll

 


# Costa Coffee will raise pay for British store staff for the third time in a year. That's according to the company - a unit of Coca Cola - on Monday. The coffee and sandwich chain said it would raise wages up to 7.3
% from April 1, for more than 16,000 workers. It said base pay rates for baristas would rise by about 70 pence per hour , or about 84 U.S. cents. More experienced baristas may see a bigger hike, depending on their location
and role.

 

* staff 집합명사 

* 1명 : a staff member / a staffer

* rise (by) 2% to 5% : 3%에서 2% 올라서 5%가 되었다

* rise wages (by) up to 7.3% 최대 7.3%까지 올리다

* A depend on B = A is determined by B : on 뒤에 결정짓는 요소. ~에 따라 달라진다


# Costa said its latest rise takes its pay increases to more than 14% over the last year. The coffee store further said it wanted to support its workforce in what it called 'uncertain times'.
The latest rise also likely points towards a tight British labour market. Data showed last month the country's jobless rate was close to five decade lows and employment grew.

 

* further said = added

* point to = mention 가리키면서 얘기하는 것 => suggest


 # Costa's move comes after rival Pret announced another pay rise for staff last week. Food retailers like Tesco, Asda and Marks & Spencer have also announced raises.

 

* come after = come as = come when => happen의 뜻 : 이번 조치가 있기 전에 ~ 가 있었다

* I need a raise. 임금인상
