The U.S. Supreme Court is currently hearing a significant case involving Starbucks and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). The case centers on Starbucks' appeal against a judicial order that mandated the rehiring of seven employees at a Memphis, Tennessee store. These employees, known as the 'Memphis 7 organizers', were dismissed during their efforts to unionize, prompting a legal challenge. Starbucks is contesting the extent of federal power in such labor disputes, arguing for a higher standard that federal judges should adhere to when deciding whether to reinstate fired union activists, specifically proposing a 'four-factor test'. This case is seen as pivotal, with potential implications for unionization efforts and the powers of regulatory agencies like the NLRB.
