Starbucks Denies Claims Of Suppressing Worker Activism By Banning Pride Displays

Starbucks has denied reports stating that the coffee chain has banned pride displays across its U.S. stores. Trade unions have said that Starbucks is trying to suppress worker activism citing pressure from conservative groups reports say. 

It is pertinent to note that while pride displays are a common sight in U.S. cities during the pride month of June, a number of conservative groups also spring into action to boycott such movements.

From equal employment opportunities to comprehensive health coverage for same-sex and transgender partners. Starbucks has been an LGBTQA-pro company from a policy and cultural point of view. 

But recent controversies including the current one have given fodder for trade and employee unions to join hands in agitation against the company. It remains to be seen whether the issue calls for a resolution between the stakeholders.
