The union for Starbucks staff says that workers at more than 150 stores will strike in the coming week. Starbucks Workers United said Friday morning that more than 3,500 workers would be on strike over the course of the next week because of the company's "hypocritical treatment of LGBTQIA+ workers." The union said that strikers would be "demanding that Starbucks negotiate a fair contract with union stores and stop their illegal union-busting campaign, which has significantly impacted Starbucks' LGBTQIA+ workforce." Starbucks did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment, made outside of regular working hours, on what would happen to the striking stores. As of June 22, 329 Starbucks stores in the US have won union elections, according to Perfect Union.
