Starbucks Union Alleges The Company Has Ordered the Removal of "Pride" Decorations, But Starbucks Corporate Denies ThisNot sure what to think about this. Do I trust a left-leaning union that wants to make trouble for a corporation and force it to support extremist politics, or do I trust a soulless corporate lie-factory? Just hoping for injuries here. A Starbucks union, Starbucks Workers United, claimed: Starbucks Workers United @SBWorkersUnited IN THE MIDDLE OF PRIDE MONTH?! IN THE MIDDLE OF PRIDE MONTH, STARBUCKS!??! Do better, Starbucks. #DoBetter. For the last two weeks, Starbucks workers have taken to social media to report that the company is no longer allowing Pride decorations in-store. This seems to be the first year the publicly "pro-LGBTQ+" company has taken this kind of stance. Sounds pretty great! But Starbucks corporate says the union is lying and that there's no such order. Starbucks blasted recent "false" claims alleging that the global coffee company ordered stores across the United States to remove LGBTQ Pride flags on display under threat of conservative backlash. You'll notice that this denial is carefully crafted to not deny anything in particular. Anytime someone issues a general, hazy, vague denial, and avoids denying the specific things denied, they're just admitting that it's true. "False information" can mean something like, "We didn't order it, we strongly suggested it." Lawyers routinely deny the whole of a statement if they can find a quibble with any minor part of the statement, and courts say that this is technically not perjury. The union account followed the announcement with a lengthy Twitter thread detailing the situation. "For the last two weeks, Starbucks workers have taken to social media to report that the company is no longer allowing Pride decorations in-store. This seems to be the first year the publicly 'pro-LGBTQ+' company has taken this kind of stance," it continued. No shit, really? I never noticed that getting a coffee at Starbucks was essentially standing around watching a Drag Queen Story Hour. ... but management has failed to materially support the LGBTQ+ community. Last October, some workers have reported that their transgender benefit plan changed, causing them to pay out of pocket fees and lose access to certain providers." So this is about chiseling more money out of Starbucks, and getting them to pay for the trannies' endless elective surgeries. Starbucks responded with a forceful denial of the union's allegations. In its statement to Fox News, the coffee company said, "We unwaveringly support the LGBTQIA2+ community. 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. Pride month in June." The union account collected up claims that Starbucks was taking down "pride" decorations -- but we don't know anything about the credibility of those claims. These claims are being made by the same people who routinely scream "YOU'RE LITERALLY TRYING TO ERASE ME FROM EXISTENCE!!!" So, take them with a grain of salt. In related Starbucks news: A jury has found them guilty of racism -- of the anti-white variety usually favored by The Regime -- and has ordered the overpriced coffee vendor to pay $25.6 million to a manager fired for being white. She was specifically fired for asking the two famous "black businessmen," the guys who were just sitting in Starbucks, not ordering anything and refusing to order something when told they had to order something or leave, to leave. A jury on Monday found in favor of former Starbucks regional director Shannon Phillips, who sued the company for wrongfully firing her, claiming she was terminated for being White. In very related news, the CEO of Lululemon -- who fired two white managers for calling the police on black thieves looting their store -- defended the anti-white racist firing, by claiming "It's only merchandise." Well, merchandise and dangerous criminals who could hurt customers and employees. I think Lululemon might be paying out $50 million pretty soon. Lululemon's CEO stands by his decision to axe two employees who called the police while three masked men robbed a Georgia outpost, citing the company's "zero-tolerance policy" for intervening with a robbery as a reason for firing the workers. "Educators." Educators. | Recent Comments
