Mary Anne Trasciatti, director of the Labor Studies Program and professor of rhetoric, talked to Newsday about a Supreme Court ruling that stated a higher standard must be met for the federal government to win court orders when a company is suspected of interfering with union campaigns.
The ruling stemmed from a court case involving a labor dispute between Starbucks and its unionized workforce. The decision ruling will make it harder for the National Labor Relations Board to support Starbucks workers when a company is suspected of interfering with union campaigns.
Dr. Trasciatti said she was “disappointed but not surprised” by the court’s decision. “Starbucks is talking out of both sides of their mouth,” she said. “It really undercuts their stated commitment to building a positive relationship with their unionized workers.”
