Court agrees to consider challenge by coffee chain to judicial decision requiring it to rehire seven union activists in Tennessee
The US supreme court agreed to consider a challenge by Starbucks to a judicial decision requiring the world’s largest coffee chain to rehire seven union activists in Memphis, Tennessee. A federal agency determined the workers were fired for supporting unionization.
A lower court found that Starbucks – grappling with a wave of unionization across the United States – probably discouraged other employees from exercising their rights under US labor law by dismissing the workers, dubbed the “Memphis Seven”, in 2022.
