Starbucks Corporation is appealing to the Supreme Court in a case involving the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and the rights of workers to organize. The case stems from the firing of seven employees who were leading a unionization effort at a Starbucks store in Memphis, Tennessee. The NLRB determined that the firings constituted illegal interference with workers’ rights and obtained a court order requiring Starbucks to rehire them. Starbucks argues that the NLRB’s authority to seek such injunctions is too broad and seeks a narrower standard.
