Starbucks Workers United Union said more than 150 stores representing nearly 3,500 workers will strike across the US over the next week, with additional stores possibly voting for strike authorisations. The action comes amid accusations that the coffee giant barred workers from displaying Pride month decor in dozens of US stores. Starbucks denied changing its guidelines for Store decorations and criticised the union for spreading false information about benefits, policies and negotiation efforts. The union has also accused Starbucks of stalling contract negotiations. More than 300 company-owned stores have voted to unionise since August 2021.
