Workers at some organized Starbucks stores in the US are striking beginning Friday because what it claims is the “hypocritical treatment of LGBTQIA+ workers” and not being allowed to put up Pride-themed decor in cafes.
Thanks for a second I was like… dude you work at a Starbucks ??? But yeah, upset they can’t actually decorate for pride but it seems not an issue with corporate, as much as an issue with shitty local management.
Since the headline is really ambiguous: the striking workers would like more ability to decorate for pride.
queer rights have been a big flashpoint of SBWU actions in general, for those who haven’t been following the unionization efforts–last year for example Starbucks was holding the possibility of employees losing their gender-affirming care benefits over workers who wanted to unionize.

FWIW, my employer runs a Starbucks location and they put up both Pride decorations and put together a feature drink.
Yeah from the headline I thought they wovè stricking against lgbt stuff
