Workers

NPR - Starbucks heads to the Supreme Court today. The case isn't about coffee but about how much power the government should have to protect workers during a labor investigation. In February 2022, seven Starbucks employees in Tennessee were fired days after they announced their intent to unionize. Starbucks said the workers broke multiple company rules, including when they let a TV crew into a closed store. The justices will hear arguments about whether a lower court erred when it ordered Starbucks to reinstate the employees while the investigation takes place.
