The justices heard arguments in Starbucks’ appeal against a lower court’s ruling, which favored the U.S. National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ordering the reinstatement of the terminated employees. The case revolves around the legal standard for issuing a preliminary injunction under the National Labor Relations Act. Starbucks argues for a stringent evaluation, contrasting with the NLRB’s stance. Some justices appeared to agree that courts, not the NLRB, should have the primary role in determining the likelihood of success in a case before issuing an injunction.
