It's rather edifying to see all of this come crawling out of the woodwork after literally YEARS of pointing it out and having to put up with the ridiculous denials ... Starbucks Workers United, representing around 9,000 Starbucks baristas, faced backlash after expressing "solidarity with Palestine" following a recent Hamas attack on Israelis.Well, let's see.
Starbucks Workers United is a subset of Workers United which is a subset of the Service Employees International Union.
Starbucks Workers United represents workers at 340 stores worldwide.
There are 34,000 Starbucks stores worldwide.
So the union represents .01% of Starbucks stores.
And the social media post from Starbucks Workers United that expressed "Solidarity with Palestine!" has been removed.
But sure, condemn every Starbucks store and every Starbucks employee -- which, incidentally, have condemned the attack on Israel -- because, well, rather than condemn those who actually put out the social media post, ya' just gotta' paint with that big broad republican boycott brush.
