Section 10(j) of the National Labor Relations Act is often touted as an important remedy to obtain prompt relief for employees who are disciplined or discharged for their support of a union organizing drive. Delays have often plagued the efficacy of the remedy. Recently there has been a substantial uptick in the NLRB’s federal court applications for such relief. In the Starbucks case, significant, relatively new legal issues have arisen, including the standard for obtaining such relief (which the Supreme Court may agree to consider), and the scope of court-ordered discovery of union members to determine whether they have been “chilled” in the exercise of their rights to engage in concerted activity.
