Starbucks’ challenge to the National Labor Relations Board’s demand to reinstate fired union organizers is the first appeals test of the agency’s power.
The coffee company is expected to present oral arguments in front of the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals Thursday to override a previous ruling that made Starbucks rehire a group of union organizers known as the Memphis Seven.
The case in question arose when Starbucks fired seven workers from a Memphis, Tennessee, location in January 2022 after they appeared on a local news program promoting the store’s union drive. The company said the workers had an unauthorized, after-hours meeting with the news organization. A U.S. District judge ruled in August that the workers should be reinstated. Starbucks complied and rehired six of the seven employees and appealed the ruling. That appeal will be heard this week.
