, the coffee chain accused Starbucks Workers United of making “maliciously and recklessly false statements” as part of “an unlawful smear campaign” about company policy on Pride decor and benefits related to gender-affirming care.that began Friday at more than 150 stores, in which over 3,000 employees in at least 28 states vowed to walk out for a week.
On Monday, Starbucks’s executive vice president, Sara Trilling, announced that the company will “issue clearer centralized guidelines … for in-store visual displays and decorations that will continue to represent inclusivity and our brand.”The dispute began when the union accused regional-level Starbucks leaders and store managers of blocking workers from putting up Pride flags and other decorations commemorating LGBTQ rights.

The Seattle-based company has vehemently denied these claims, noting its track record of supporting LGBTQ employees. Among them was updating the company’s health insurance benefits to include coverage of gender reassignment surgery.“For nearly four decades … Starbucks has been at the forefront of supporting the LGBTQIA2+ community,” the company said in a statement. “We can not and will not tolerate these deliberate misrepresentations being broadcast to our partners.
