Starbucks’ workers union accused the company on Tuesday of banning decorations for LGBTQ Pride month.
The group, Starbucks Workers United, is alleging that the company’s corporate management has been asking its workers in at least 21 states to take down Pride decorations over the last two weeks, a claim that the company refutes. The union said that workers in Massachusetts, for instance, were being told that there weren’t enough “labor hours” for employees to spend decorating. It added that in Oklahoma, some were told “it was a safety concern to block windows with flags” and citedNBC News has not been able to independently verify the examples.
“If Starbucks was a true ally, they would stand up for us, especially during a time when LGBTQ+ people are under attack,” the group said in a lengthy Twitter thread. “A company that cares wouldn’t turn their back on the LGBTQ+ community to protect their already astronomically high profits.”“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 U.S.
“We’re deeply concerned by false information that is being spread especially as it relates to our inclusive store environments, our company culture, and the benefits we offer our partners,” Andrew Trull, a spokesperson for the company, said in a statement. “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 U.S. Pride month in June.
