Starbucks baristas are making ready to go on strike at greater than 150 shops in protest over allegations the espresso big banned Delight decorations in some areas.

Union leaders for Starbucks staff introduced the strike plan Friday, saying 3,500 staff will stroll off the job subsequent week all throughout the nation.

The union is demanding all Starbucks areas permit staff to make use of Delight decorations to point out assist for the LGBTQ+ neighborhood … and there is a new union contract they need Starbucks to acknowledge.

Whereas the union claims Starbucks banned some shops from placing up Delight decorations and requested different areas to take down present decor, the espresso firm denies that, and is accusing the union of spreading a false narrative.

One hotbed for controversy is Oklahoma Metropolis … the place one retailer supervisor reportedly informed union staff to trash Delight decorations because of a call made on the regional stage.
