More than 3,000 Starbucks employees in over 150 locations nationwide are expected to go on strike over the next week after the union accused the coffee giant of not allowing dozens of stores to decorate for Pride month.

Starbucks denies the allegations and says it's made no change in its policy allowing Pride month decorations.

Workers from the company's flagship roastery in Seattle will kick off the strike on Friday. They will also be picketing in front of the café to block deliveries.

Starbucks Workers United, a union representing about 8,000 of the company's workers, said more stores will be joining over the next several days in cities including Chicago, Philadelphia and San Antonio, in what is considered the longest and biggest strike in the union's history.
