NLRB's Test for Preliminary Injunctions in Labor Cases

The Supreme Court examined the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) standard for obtaining a preliminary injunction against employers in cases involving union activities. The case Starbucks vs. Mckinney focused on the NLRB's requirement to rehire workers unlawfully terminated for engaging in union activities. Justice Thomas favored the Winter four-part test endorsed by Starbucks to determine the grant of preliminary injunctions, with Justice Jackson partially concurring and dissenting with a longer opinion.
