Starbucks took its battle with labor unions to the Supreme Court, challenging a lower court decision reinstating seven fired baristas who planned to unionize. The case could impact labor rights and unionizing efforts nationwide. The Supreme Court appears likely to side with Starbucks, potentially making it harder for union activists to be reinstated after company retaliation. The National Labor Relations Board's power is being challenged by Starbucks, arguing that federal judges should review NLRB requests for injunctions like any other litigant's bid for immediate court orders.
