Pride month in June,” Starbucks spokesperson Andrew Trull said in a statement to Eater.
“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. “In Georgia, workers were told that it was a safety reason to have workers on ladders and that workers can’t decorate for Pride because it deviates from the ‘Siren Core Pattern.’” The union posted a video to TikTok, supposedly of Pride decorations being taken down from a store window and from above the milk and sugar bar.Īccording to Starbucks, there has been no directive against decorating for Pride. “In Massachusetts, some workers were told that they couldn’t put up decorations due to there not being enough ‘labor hours’ to schedule partners to decorate,” the statement reads. In a statement to Eater, SB Workers United said it has confirmed workers in 21 states have been told they cannot decorate for Pride. But members of the Starbucks union, SB Workers United, claim the company is preventing workers from displaying Pride decorations, and that some managers have actively taken down those decorations. The Human Rights Campaign calls it one of the best places to work for LGBTQ+ equality. On its own website, the company touts its benefits for trans employees, its longtime support of marriage equality, and its willingness to fly the rainbow flag at its Seattle headquarters. Starbucks has long portrayed itself as a queer-friendly workplace.
