"Supreme Court Takes on Starbucks Union Dispute"

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear Starbucks' appeal of a court order to reinstate seven employees at a Memphis store who were fired for pro-union activities, with the case focusing on the standard used for court injunctions requested by the National Labor Relations Board. Starbucks claims that differing appeals court rulings threaten the uniformity of federal labor law, while the workers' union asserts that the case expands Starbucks' conflict with its employees to a broader war on U.S. workers. A decision is expected by the end of June.
