(via Starbucks Workers on Ed Sheeran Picking Up Shift at Union-Busting Store: 'Straight Up Embarrassing')
The scabby singer slung pumpkin spice lattes at the anti-worker coffee chain in Seattle to promote his upcoming shows there and new album, Autumn Variations.
Starbucks Workers United, a collective of workers organizing Starbucks locations across the country, called Sheeran out on Saturday. “Ed Sheeran working a shift at a Starbucks store in Seattle that faced massive union-busting is straight up embarrassing,” they tweeted.
Starbucks Workers United added, “Not to mention almost every “worker” you see in that photo wearing a green apron is management, not baristas.”
