The SWU’s tweet comes at a time of heightened tensions between Israel and Palestine, with both sides launching airstrikes in recent days.
The SWU’s tweet has been met with mixed reactions. Some people have praised the union for its stance, while others have criticized it for taking a political side.
In a statement to the New York Post, Starbucks said that it “respects the right of our employees to express their views and opinions, but we do not endorse the views expressed in this tweet.”
The SWU is a labor union that represents Starbucks baristas in the United States. The union was founded in 2021 and has since grown to represent over 300 stores across the country.
The SWU is fighting for better working conditions for Starbucks baristas, including higher wages, better benefits, and more job security.
The union’s tweet expressing solidarity with Palestine is a reminder that workers’ rights and human rights are inextricably linked.sharemore_vert
