An attorney for Starbucks demanded that Workers United issue a clarification that its views are its own and that it not use the coffee giant's name.
In an acknowledgment that an effort to boycott Starbucks is having an impact, the giant coffee chain has issued a cease-and-desist letter to a union representing about 9,000 of its baristas and other workers who have publicly sided with Palestinians after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7.
'The letter was prompted by a social media post from Starbucks Workers United that expressed 'Solidarity with Palestine!' that has since been removed. Union chapters in Iowa, Chicago and Boston promoted rallies in support of Palestinians after some 5,000 Hamas rockets rained down on Israel.
