REUTERS/Mike Blakestores in the United States will go on strike next week, the union representing the coffee chain's baristas said on Friday, following claims that the company had banned Pride Month decorations at its cafes.
The strikes were also aimed at protesting against employees' treatment at Starbucks and pushing for a fair labor contract covering better pay and benefits, the Starbucks Workers United union added.The call for a strike comes days after the union said Starbucks had taken down some Pride Month decorations and flags at several stores, a matter that was also discussed by some workers on social media.
Starbucks on Friday denied the claims, calling them "false information". It said last week there had been "no change to any policy on this matter" and that it was still encouraging store managers to celebrate Pride Month as long as store safety guidelines were followed. Several U.S. retail brands have faced backlash from conservatives over the display of LGBTQ+ merchandise, while also coming under criticism from gay rights groups for insufficient support for the community after the companies relented under pressure from conservatives.
