Starbucks Boycott Gains Momentum
Consumers Call for Company-Wide Boycott
Unions, Social Media Posts, and Poor Sales Drive the Movement
Consumers are boycotting Starbucks for several reasons, causing a decline in the company's revenue. One primary reason is Starbucks' alleged anti-union stance, which has drawn criticism online. Furthermore, a recent social media post by the company has sparked controversy, leading to a lawsuit between Starbucks and the union organizing its workers.
Analysts attribute the boycott to a combination of declining consumer sentiment in the United States and decreasing sales growth. Boycotting has previously been used as a form of protest against the company by Christian conservatives. The current boycott, however, is focused on labor relations and the perceived suppression of unionization efforts.
