they are threatening to take away all healthcare, yes, including trans healthcare. there's even some quotes from trans employees who claim their managers specifically threatened their healthcare coverage because they were trans. I agree that it's obviously a workers' rights issue, but it's an issue that has an outsized effect on a marginalized group of workers, specifically trans people. and it's a particular slap in the face since they're threatening to take away their "progressive" health care policy for trans employees in order to keep them from unionizing. it's a disgusting tactic to divide the workforce by using healthcare as blackmail. fuck Howard Schultz and fuck Starbucks
