WFB: Starbucks has threatened a union representing thousands of its employees with legal action after it espoused support for Hamas terrorists on social media, according to a letter obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
Last week, the Free Beacon reported that Starbucks Workers United expressed “Solidarity with Palestine!” in deleted social media posts. The union’s chapters in Iowa, Chicago, and Boston promoted rallies in support of Hamas attacks on Israel, including a “Long Live Palestinian Resistance” rally in Boston. The union’s backing of a terrorist attack that killed more than 1,200 Israelis drew widespread condemnation, including calls from Sen. Rick Scott (R., Fla.) to boycott the coffee giant over the union’s stance.
But Starbucks says it vehemently rejects the union’s support for Hamas and is now demanding Starbucks Workers United “immediately cease and desist” from using the company’s name and logo. Starbucks said the union’s statements “advocat[ed] for violence” and caused “irreparable harm” to the company. more here
There’s normally a huge disconnect between what the Democrat leadership of unions says and what their dues paying members actually think.
Not sure that’s the case here.
I’d boycott Starbucks, but I’ve already been doing that for years.
Crappy coffee, crappy service, and now, crappy takes on terrorism.
No thanks. I can make my own coffee, free of all the crap Starbucks offers!
The fact that the name Barista came about to describe some knucklehead serving coffee is amazing to me. It ranks right up there with burger flipper.
^^ 1500+ dittos/year x 5 years (cups of coffee) since my last visit to Starfucks (and even that was a rare one.)
Herman Melville’s estate should sue Starbucks for literary appropriation of the character named Starbuck in Moby Dick. Starbuck and Moby Dick rules, the coffee chain Starbucks drools.
The economy isn’t shitty enough if $7 Coffee’s are still selling with linbe ups out the door.
When your business model relies on employing malicious, maladjusted malcontents it kind of puts you between a rock and a hard place. Who could have ever guessed?
