Workers at more than 150 Starbucks locations across the United States are planning to go on strike as the coffee chain and a union representing baristas clash over displays supporting LBGTQ causes in stores during Pride month.
Starbucks Workers United said in a tweet Friday that 3,500 workers will be on strike over the next week. Starbucks has consistently denied claims by union organizers that it was banning Pride displays in its U.S. stores after brands like Disney, Target and Bud Light suffered a related backlash and negative social media campaigns in some parts of the country.
