A New York federal judge has ruled on July 16 that Workers United and former Starbucks employees must provide information requested in subpoenas regarding the impact on union support at a Long Island cafe following a worker's firing. This decision comes amid broader legal battles involving Starbucks and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Despite a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that raised the bar for the NLRB to win court injunctions against employers, NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo has stated on July 17 that the agency will continue to 'aggressively seek' 10(j) injunctions. The Supreme Court's decision overturned an order for Starbucks to reinstate seven fired workers in Tennessee.

A U.S. Supreme Court ruling involving Starbucks that raised the bar for the NLRB to win court injunctions against employers won't discourage the agency from "aggressively seeking" them, general counsel Jennifer Abruzzo said @DanWiessner https://t.co/7gbJm99sD0 https://t.co/DnfWMWp2Fr
After years of identifying as a progressive employer, Starbucks is now sponsoring the Republican National Convention. Republicans oppose LGBTQ+ and workers' rights, but the conservative Supreme Court recently gave Starbucks a big win vs. its union. https://t.co/iM0HlfUOGs
