Starbucks is suing the union calling itself Starbucks Workers United over the use of the company's name and logo following a controversial pro-Palestine post.
Coffee giant Starbucks filed a lawsuit against the union calling itself Starbucks Workers United over the improper use of the company’s intellectual property in the wake of the union’s controversial pro-Palestine post.
To be clear: We unequivocally condemn these acts of terrorism, hate and violence, and disagree with the statements and views expressed by Workers United and its members. Workers United’s words and actions belong to them, and them alone." Starbucks executive VP and chief partner officer Sara Kelly released a statement affirming that stance on Tuesday, writing that the union’s post expressing support for Palestine in that context has had a negative impact on the company and its workers.
Shortly after October 7, Workers United posted a statement with an image of a bulldozer tearing down a part of the Israel and Gaza border, reflecting their support for violence perpetrated by Hamas. Unfortunately, as violence against the innocent in the region continues to escalate, some people are mistakenly tying these remarks to us, because Workers United and its affiliates and members continue to use our name, logo and intellectual property," Kelly wrote.
