Driving the news: The high court voted 8-1 in favor of Starbucks in a case the company filed against the National Labor Relations Board involving the so-called Memphis 7, a group of unionizing workers who said they were unlawfully fired after they appeared in a TV news segment.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who's effectively become the court's lone labor supporter, wrote the dissent.

The decision will make it harder for the NLRB, the agency that administers the national labor law, to go after employers for violating its rules.
