Coffee giant Starbucks is caught up in a row with a labor union over claims that workers at some of its stores in the U.S. have been told they cannot put up Pride decorations this year. Some Starbucks workers complain about alleged Pride decor 'policy':
The union has also pushed back on Starbucks’s denials,numerous reports on social media and TikTok videos from workers of the removal of Pride decorations at their stores.
“We unwaveringly support the LGBTQIA2+ community. There has been no change to any policy on this matter and we continue to encourage our store leaders to celebrate with their communities including for US Pride month in June,” said Starbucks spokesperson Andrew Trumbull. “It feels like they’re unnecessarily kind of falling in line with that, when they don’t have to. I don’t think it would cost them anything. We’re supposed to be a community environment,” they said.A Starbucks employee
Another Starbucks worker said their store in Maryland also removed all decorations just as Pride month began.
