More than 150 Starbucks stores with 3,500 workers are set to go on strike next week after a union representing the baristas claimed the company ordered them to take down Pride decorations.
The Starbucks Workers United union previously accused the coffee giant of caving into backlash and failing 'to materially support the LGBTQ+ community' earlier this month.
It said executives had 'banned' stores from displaying rainbow flags and decorations halfway through Pride Month.
Starbucks strongly denied the allegations and hit out at the 'false information that is being spread'.
But the union, which represents over 41,000 workers across more than 325 stores, announced on Friday that workers across America will strike over the 'hypocritical treatment of LGBTQIA+ workers'.
The Starbucks Workers United union took to Twitter to announce the latest strike action which will begin at the company's Seattle Roastery - located just nine blocks from Starbucks' first ever store at the Pike Place Market.
'STRIKE WITH PRIDE! Seattle Roastery leads nationwide Starbucks strike over Starbucks’ hypocritical treatment of LGBTQIA+ workers,' it wrote.
'Over 150+ stores and 3,500 workers will be on strike over the course of the next week.'
More stores are voting on whether to strike so this could rise to nearly 200 by the end of the week.

uuuhhhh...no
You may have rectal issues friend =o)
From “Race Together” to “Sodomize an Anus and Groom Children Together.”
I am happy to say I have never purchased a Starbuck product.
Thanks....Bud lite, just like Bud, still sucks
Who wants to be served by a gaggle of perverted fruitcakes?
No AB, no Target, no Kohls, Disney, et al. And no Biden or Democraps...or home RINOS!
I don’t see them raising straight flags.
Wait, other than the stars and stripes, do we have a flag?
I get mine from the $10 coffee maker on the kitchen counter. Easy enough to add sugar, creamer, cream, cocoa or whatever flavorings I want and it’s all more convenient and cheaper than going out. And I don’t have to put on shoes and waste gas or time.
IMHO, that is very good news...
To me, Starbucks is just a political partner of CNN, NBC, ABC, & CBS...
Of course I wouldn’t dare say that to many of my children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren who, while politically far right of Genghis Khan, love that latte crap...
But I am following the story because I like to watch them eat each other, regardless of who "wins".
Let them strike....and simply hire others to take their places.
Never let social political warriors dictate to companies.
So in spite of the LBTQ when they came out of their closets saying just leave us alone to practice our perverted life style in peace now want the world to bow down to them.
I have a REVERSE bucket list.
Things I will NEVER do or NEVER have done.
I am proud to say drinking a cup of Starbucks is high on the list.
Basically, they are making tons of money selling very mildly addictive molecules..gotta’ realize it has some addiction component when I see people waiting in line for 5-10 minutes for coffee...or plunking down 10 bucks for a shot of whisky at dinner...or in a bar waiting for dinner...
Striking. Time on their hands. No work to do. Bored and restless.
Where do they go?
How about....
