Supreme Court Appears Poised to Side With Starbucks in Labor Dispute Over Firing of Pro-Union Employees

The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday appeared to side with Starbucks in its request to limit the authority of a government labor board in determining whether companies are required to reinstate fired union workers, potentially raising the threshold for those seeking recourse against companies accused of obstructing unionization efforts. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] The labor law case stems from Starbucks’s challenge to a federal district court’s 2022 decision ordering the company to rehire seven baristas who claimed they were fired for attempting to unionize at a Memphis store. The Seattle-based coffee chain said the move was legally justified and that the employees were fired for security violations after they allowed TV news crews into the store after closing for interviews about their unionization efforts.
