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 (which still go on to this day):

JUST IN: Starbucks Employees Union Expresses 'Support for Palestine' Following Recent Hamas Terrorist Attacks..

Starbucks Workers United, representing around 9,000 Starbucks baristas, faced backlash after expressing "solidarity with Palestine" following a recent Hamas attack on Israelis.

The union, based in Buffalo, NY, later deleted the post but "liked" a tweet from one of its members stating, "Once again, free Palestine."

US Senator Rick Scott called for a boycott of Starbucks and criticized the union for its tweets, urging the company to denounce support for terrorism.

Starbucks swiftly distanced itself from the union, asserting its condemnation of acts of terrorism and disagreeing with the statements made by Workers United.

The coffee chain emphasized that SWU and SEIU do not represent the company's views.

Heh. If one were to poll many of their employees over at Corporate HQ in downtown Seattle, that last line might not end up being true...
