Workers at the Encinitas Starbucks at 905 Orpheus Ave. went on strike Friday along with other Starbucks locations across the nation. The Encinitas Starbucks is closed Friday as its union workers join with more than 150 other stores as part of a joint strike over contract negotiations and complaints over Pride month displays. Now in its seventh day, Starbucks union workers across the nation have gone on strike over claims about the company’s policy on Pride decorations, which they say limited LGBT signage in stores. Encinitas Starbucks workers voted in May to unionize its location at 905 Orpheus Ave., becoming the first location in San Diego County with a union. Starbucks Workers United alleged in mid-June that workers were being asked to remove Pride decorations and other actions perceived as anti-LGBT.
