Starbucks union says workers at over 150 stores will strike over Pride decor
NBCAUG 2023
Starbucks is obviously caving to the toxic right-wing ecosystem and turning its back on the LGBTQ+ community, as employees in nearly half of US states have reported being denied the right to decorate their stores for Pride. In response, Starbucks’s explanations have been nebulous at best. If Starbucks wants to stop the strike, it will have to make a definitive statement in support of decorating stores for Pride.
Few companies have been more left-leaning over the past decades than Starbucks, yet even it isn’t immune from attacks by the woke mob that won’t rest until it’s pushed its ideologies on everyone. Polls show Americans oppose a lot of these far-left ideologies, and Starbucks is well within its rights to pull back from being an advocate for something that’s unpopular. The woke mob should give it a rest, and unions should stop shamelessly grandstanding and politicking as they negotiate contracts.
