In Starbucks v. McKinney, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson continued her role from last term of eagerly being the sole justice standing up forcefully in protection of labor rights.

Last term, she issued a solo dissent about the essential nature of “the right to strike.”

This term, on Thursday, she issued a solo partial dissent, highlighting the role courts have historically played to prop up management’s interests — and the reason why the Section 10(j) injunctions sought by the National Labor Relations Board in the Starbucks case should be considered in light of that history and the law’s aim at countering that history.

It’s an important read, and I hope to expand on this topic soon.
