"Supreme Court to Hear Starbucks Appeal in Union Firing Case"
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case of the "Memphis 7," a group of Starbucks employees who were fired after attempting to unionize, sparking a major legal battle. The employees allege they were terminated in retaliation for their unionization efforts, leading to a federal judge's order for their reinstatement. The case will address the standard federal courts must use to require companies to keep employees on the payroll during ongoing legal disputes, with implications for broader labor relations and the balance of power between unions and employers.
