Workers at about 150 unionized Starbucks stores in the United States are going on strike Friday over the coffee chain’s policy for Pride decorations in stores
. Starbucks\n \n Workers United, the union representing organized stores, has claimed that Starbucks\n \n has restricted decorations celebrating Pride month in some locations, demonstrating a “hypocritical treatment of LGBTQIA+ workers.” Starbucks\n \n has forcefully denied this claim. About 3,500 employees “will be on strike over the course of the next week,” Starbucks Workers United posted in a tweet.
There has been no change to any policy on this matter and we continue to encourage our store leaders to celebrate with their communities including for US Pride month in June,” a Starbucks spokesperson said, adding, “We’re deeply concerned by false information that is being spread.” However, the union responded on Twitter that the company’s “own responses have not been consistent” based on internal documents and testimonies from store managers.
