Starbucks faces potential boycotts after its workers union, Workers United, expressed solidarity with Palestine amidst the recent conflict with Hamas. Backed by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and favored by the Democratic Party's progressives, the union's stance has incited controversy following a Hamas attack and massacre. Starbucks' corporate headquarters has issued a response to the situation.
