Starbucks and the trade union representing its US workers have sued each other in a dispute over a pro-Palestinian social media post.  The world’s biggest coffee chain has claimed its reputation has been damaged after Starbucks Workers United tweeted its support for Palestine just days after the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel.

The café-chain has now sued Starbucks Workers United for trademark infringement, demanding that the union change its name and stop using a circular green logo, according to a legal complaint filed in Iowa on Wednesday.   Starbucks said: “As the violence against the innocent in the region continues, some people are mistakenly tying these remarks to us, because Workers United and its affiliates and members continue to use our name, logo and intellectual property.”
