A construction worker is suing Howard Schultz after he hurt his back while helping renovate the former Starbucks CEO's home in the Hamptons.
Julio Guerrero claims he was forced to wear 'dangerous footwear' while doing construction work in Schultz's $14million East Hampton home in June 2017.
Guerrero slipped and fell while wearing the booties on a ladder and cracked his back, the suit claims.

Guerrero is now suing the Howard D Schultz Resident Trust for unspecified damages.

The booties were meant to protect the floors from scratches or dirt.
