The U.S. Supreme Court sided with Starbucks on Thursday in the company’s challenge to a judicial order that would have required them to rehire seven Memphis employees that were fired while they participated in union efforts.
The “Memphis Seven” publicly released a letter addressed to the Starbucks CEO and agreed to sit down in a store with a TV news crew to discuss the union efforts.
Starbucks argued it legally terminated the employees, who had violated company policies.
The National Labor Relations Board had obtained a court order requiring Starbucks to rehire the terminated employees.
Observers have said the Supreme Court decision will now make it harder for the federal government to win labor disputes.
