Starbucks Workers Nationwide Strike Over Pride Decorations

Workers at two unionized Starbucks stores in Madison, Wisconsin, have gone on strike, accusing the company of unfair labor practices after it removed Pride month-related displays and decorations from the stores. The workers claim that the removal of the decorations demonstrates a lack of support for LGBTQ employees. Starbucks denies any change in its policies and says it continues to encourage store leaders to celebrate Pride month. The strike is part of a coordinated nationwide action that has closed over 150 Starbucks stores across 22 states.
