In an 8-1 decision, the court made it more difficult for the NLRB to temporarily halt alleged unfair labor practices, favoring a higher standard supported by Starbucks.
Justice Clarence Thomas wrote that the NLRB-backed standard allowed the federal government to prevail too easily in labor disputes, contradicting existing law or facts.
Labor advocates condemned the ruling, expressing concerns about the limited tools available to workers to protect themselves when their employers break the law.
The union representing Starbucks employees criticized the Supreme Court's decision, stating that the ruling further weakened an already fragile American labor law system.
