Coffee chain brings challenge after being told to rehire seven workers at Tennessee store who pursued effort to unionize
US supreme court justices on Tuesday appeared to agree with Starbucks in the coffee chain’s challenge to a judicial order requiring it to rehire seven employees at a Tennessee cafe who were fired as they pursued efforts to unionize.
The justices heard arguments in the company’s appeal of a lower court’s approval of an injunction sought by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ordering the reinstatement of the workers. It is a case that could make it harder to bring a quick halt to labor practices challenged as unfair under federal law while the NLRB resolves complaints.
