Workers At 150 Starbucks Strike Over Pride Decor Ban

The Washington Post reports:

Starbucks workers at more than 150 stores launched a week-long strike, alleging that employees at dozens of U.S. locations were restricted or barred from putting up Pride decorations, a claim the company has denied.

Starbucks Workers United said the walkout involving more than 3,000 workers in at least 28 states began Friday at the company’s flagship store in Seattle. Employees at other locations will strike throughout the week, affecting less than 2 percent of company-operated stores across the United States.

The union says it is not alleging the actions were a result of a “corporate top-down national policy.” Still, it’s “very hard to believe that corporate was unaware” of the actions because the purported instances of it happening were so widespread, according to a statement to The Post.
