Some organized Starbucks stores will strike across the U.S. at more than 150 locations starting Friday in Seattle, after the union representing baristas claimed some cafes were not allowed to put up Pride decorations. The coffee giant said its policy on decorating has not changed and that it unwaveringly supports the LGBTQ+ community. Workers United has alleged instances in at least 22 states when workers have not been able to decorate. It says it filed an unfair labor practice charge over the alleged change in policy.
In response to the strike pledges, the company added, “Workers United continues to spread false information about our benefits, policies and negotiation efforts—a tactic used to seemingly divide our partners and deflect from their failure to respond to bargaining sessions for more than 200 stores.”

Thought they were already gay with grande, venti, and trenta…why not just say small, medium and large?
Dear Corporate America . . .
You will never please these lunatics.
Stop trying.
Try to live by politics, die by politics.
Fire their asses. They charge too much for coffee anyway and then get pissed off if you don’t give them a tip. I’ve got a tip for them, GET A FRIGGIN’ JOB!
Great news! starbucks being attacked from both sides. Hope starbucks is bud lighted.
When I saw the headline, I was surprised. I thought there might be someone that I could root for in this story. Not really. I thought the union might be saying “No,” only to find that they were insisting “Yes.”
Perhaps the stand-alone Starbucs should show their true colors. More people can avoid them that way.
It would be something else if there were “Pride” decorations at the mini-Starbucs that are embedded in grocery stores, Ingles here. That would be interesting. Stay tuned.
As I often say, when eventually the Chinese, or Russians or muslims finally walk in and take over this asylum without firing a shot, bad as they are, it will be an improvement.
At least they’re still somewhat grounded in reality.
The last time I was in Starbucks there was a gay guy there hitting on all the men in there and demanding hugs form them. He was disappointed when I did not hug him. I won’t be back either. Don’t try to force your preferences political or sexual on me.
My question is, Why were you there in the first place?
I’ve never been there and don’t care
Let the ‘bud liting’ begin.
ROFLMAO.
There’s even more competition sporting better quality in the coffee drink industry than in beer.
‘Unions’: Lol.
Starbucks is inside most Targets so they can virtue signal together.
Our Target still has pride stuff up front, and i suppose it will stay up until after July 4th.
I quit going to starbucks years ago. Let ‘em do whatever they want. They created the monster. They can handle it.
You MUST affirm.
(Otherwise it doesn’t exist.)
Indeed it’s a business not a club house.
OVER 20 YEARS OF PARTICIPATION TROPHIES===
WHAT DID YOU EXPECT THESE KIDS WOULD BECOME??
THAT IS ASSAULT
Hahahahaha...Robotic Barristas made by an evil corporation, just as evil as the one they work for, and the one they organize their idiot protests through, on the computers and phones made by other evil corporations!
Delicious!
My wife who is more discerning when it comes to taste/cost ratio, prefers her Cumberland Farms coffee!
These kids can find jobs elsewhere
