Companies Starbucks Corp FollowJune 26 (Reuters) - Starbucks (SBUX.O) plans to issue centralized guidelines for in-store visual displays following a union's allegations that managers banned Pride-themed decor, Bloomberg News reported on Monday, citing an internal memo shared with employees.
Starbucks store leaders can decorate stores for heritage months such as Pride in line with safety standards, the company's North America President Sara Trilling said in the memo, according to the report.
More than 3,000 workers at over 150 Starbucks stores in the United States will walk off the job, the union said on Friday.
Starbucks, NLRB and the union did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.
