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.

I agree. However, a totally woke judge might not.
That’s how crazy America has become.
So, Starbucks coffee is okay but their employees are arrogant pricks. I stopped going to Starbucks years ago.
Shut the striking locations down. I will not miss them.
We need a “Breeder Flag” we can waive at work and then strike if asked to remove
Automation....Union, meet your replacements.
“So less than 10 percent are going to strike.”
So maybe the other 90% are NOT woke just want to work and live life. Not that I care, I don’t do SB.
Once these businesses initially start to pander to the alphabet pervs (like hanging rainbow flags) then if they decide to reverse course they face the wrath of the perv mafia. Smart business operators will steer clear of that goat cluster copulation.
God’s Rainbow has 7 colors. 7 = the number of completion. Perfection. 7 = God’s number.

Yes. Every place I ever worked let me choose the decor when I threatened to not show up if they didn’t.
A bunch of kooks.
Ha!!
Wow, I’m stunned. Where will I go to buy a cup of coffee if these idiots go on strike?
This story is so gay.
Wow, I’m stunned. Where will I go to buy a cup of overpriced, over roasted coffee if these idiots go on strike?
The last time I've been to a Starbucks was at an airport before Covid hit. It has probably been just as long for buying their coffee for my espresso maker. Other brands are just cheaper...
When I see Pride flags, I see child rapist.
When I see Pete Buttigieg, I see the serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. They are one and the same.
Ha ha ha...

Beer is drunk because of alcohols effect. Caffeine drinks are vehicles for caffeine to have it’s effect. Flavor or presentation or hydration only augments the need for those fairly mild psychotropic molecules. (at low doses)
