Coffee chain brings challenge after being told to rehire seven workers at Tennessee store who pursued effort to unionize
If there is a chance for SCOTUS to be anti-union, they'll take it.

Note that this is about a temporary injunction directing Starbucks to rehire these workers until the courts come to a decision about whether or not the firing was legal. It is not a decision about whether or not the firing was legal.
With that said,

I find it entirely plausible that Starbucks would fire anyone who lets a news crew into the cafe after hours, even if it had nothing to do with unionizing.
62It's a decision about taking away what little power the NLRB has.

Oof probably shoulda be on the public sidewalk nearest the business (or somewhere, maybe the studio). Unfortunate to have that stimy things.

39"All men are created equal"
IS SLAVE STATE
Always has been.
But it doesn't always have to be this way. Look into a video on First Past the Post voting to understand why it is a mathematical inevitability there will be two political parties.
We can change how we vote at the state level (for now) so start a campaign for your state today!

Of course they do. Btw, you can buy a cool rainbow tshirt to support the union drive at their website. I'm very proud of mine.
