Starbucks and the union representing its workers, Workers United, are involved in lawsuits against each other over a social media post related to the Israel-Hamas conflict. Starbucks is suing for trademark infringement, claiming that the union's use of the name and logo in its pro-Palestinian stance is damaging the coffee giant's reputation. Workers United has responded, requesting permission to continue using the Starbucks name and logo and accusing Starbucks of defaming the union. Starbucks has received complaints and boycott calls after the union expressed support for Palestine.
