Our own Phil Wilson commented in an article for The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) about a recent Supreme Court decision in Starbucks vs. McKinney. The decision resolved a circuit split and provided consistency and clarity for businesses, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), and lower courts across the country. The ruling essentially reduces the immediate pressure that has historically been applied through Section 10(j) injunctions by the NLRB, allowing employers more latitude to enforce company policies without the looming threat of automatic injunctions.
The decision makes it less likely the NLRB general counsel will be granted injunctions, said Phil Wilson, president of the Labor Relations Institute and an attorney with LRI Consulting Services in Broken Arrow, Okla
