The entire staff of a Cinnabon store in Los Angeles walked off the job Friday to protest a policy banning LGBTQ Pride flags, decor and pins.
The striking workers are demanding that Cinnabon retract the ban on Pride decor and train managers on complying with the state’s nondiscrimination laws.The entire staff of a Cinnabon store in Los Angeles walked off the job Friday after filing a civil rights complaint against their employer over a recent policy that they say bans all Pride decor.
The striking workers are asking the California Civil Rights Department to take action to stop Cinnabon from discriminating against employees based on their sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression and force them to retract the policy. They also demand that Cinnabon “trains managers and employees to comply with existing laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression.
The employee said “So a rainbow pin is ok,” with a thumbs up emoji, and Reheis said, “Nope, that would be specific to a group,” the complaint states. “In the world that we’re living in right now, where people are being attacked just for how they look, their religious practices and who they love, it is a very dangerous world to be in,” she said. “What happens if I or another LGBTQ member is attacked during our shift? We wonder, would Cinnabon have our back? Or would they just look the other way? We just want to feel safe.”
